Boost your coding productivity with Github Copilot Agent
summary
Github Copilot now runs an agent mode inside Visual Studio Code that chooses tools, edits code, runs terminals and iterates until subtasks finish. Demo uses the VS Code Copilot agent with 31 built‑in tools (up to 128 supported) to scaffold a Java API, created 13 files for a greenfield project, and attempted to upgrade a Java 11 app to Java 21, running Maven and catching compilation errors; it partly fixes and refactors automatically but still needs human prompts to resolve some remaining build failures.
