summary

Demo shows one codebase, three agents solving three concrete problems: a local agent (Claude Opus) writing and iterating unit tests with human in the loop, a background agent using a Git worktree to build a front end, and a cloud agent running in GitHub Actions to add README and contribution files. Presenter demonstrates the loop in VS Code with Copilot and Autopilot, all three agents run simultaneously and the tests and PRs actually complete.
