Featured

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode (Preview) is the autonomous coding feature in VS Code Insiders. Copilot plans, codes, runs tests, and fixes errors – all driven by your natural language requests.

Hi everyone! Sharing something really exciting: GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, now available in VS Code Insiders! This is a major step towards truly autonomous AI-powered coding. Essentially, you give Copilot a high-level goal in natural language, and it handles the implementation details, including running terminal commands. You stay in control, reviewing changes and approving command execution. This is a preview, so expect it to evolve, but it's already a glimpse into the future of software development.

Launching soon!

@zac_zuo does this directly integrates with github issues, as we are seeing with copilot workspaces? That's where clear goals in natural language live, so I think it makes sense for the agent to start from there? :)

@zac_zuo Congrats! Great tool advancement

Can't find it in VSCode. Anyone know where it is? 😅

@sentry_co Is your VSCode the Insiders version?

André J
@zac_zuo Nope. IS that like VSCode beta or?

@sentry_co Agent mode is now available on insiders version, but is supposed to expand to all versions soon.

This is a real game-changer. It will revolutionize your coding experience. I'll give it a try and leave a review.

The ability to give Copilot a high-level goal and have it handle implementation details (including terminal commands) makes it feel much closer to a true AI coding assistant rather than just a smart autocomplete.


Technically, now we have a Tech Intern that does our work according to what we need, great :)

Finally launched! Will pause windsurf and give it a try when I'm back!!!

Launching soon!

Awesome! As a builder of a tool to help devs automate and use ai more efficiently launching next month on product it's super interesting seeing others take on improving the dev workflow for devs. Will definitely be giving this a try! Congrats on your launch!

When is it coming out for everyone?

This is an impressive step towards autonomous coding! How does the Agent Mode handle complex coding tasks compared to the standard GitHub Copilot?

It increases my efficiency and saves my time ❤️

I've tried it; it's too far behind still. Not super bad, but not good either.

Do you have plans to bring it to JetBrains IDEs?
