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.

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

GitHub has announced a new tool called Agent Mode that will help developers generate code, look for bugs and fix them automatically.

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

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