The code genie is out of the bottle, and it is now up to CXOs and technology strategists to integrate these powerful new assistants into their innovation roadmap.

GitHub Copilot debuts Agent Mode, enabling AI-driven multi-file edits and mockup-to-code conversion. A major leap in AI-assisted coding is now in preview.

GitHub has announced a slew of updates for Copilot, while also giving a glimpse into a more agentic future for its AI-powered pair programmer.

Here, too, GitHub Copilot succeeded where Microsoft Copilot failed. The challenge here is that I'm testing the AI's ability to create a script that knows about coding in AppleScript, the Chrome object model, and a little Mac-only third-party coding utility called Keyboard Maestro.

New agent mode can iterate on its own code, infer tasks not specifed, recognize errors, and fix them automatically, GitHub said.

The agent mode in GitHub Copilot can complete additional tasks that are necessary for the primary request to work.

Today, we are infusing the power of agentic AI into the GitHub Copilot experience,” said GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke.

GitHub Copilot may be the single most useful AI companion I've used, but it's about to get a lot better with agents and other improvements.

A number of GitHub Copilot capabilities have been added to the most recent version of Visual Studio Code to improve
