GitHub Copilot app adds project-scoped agents, canvas previews, and Agent Merge
GitHub Blog AI/ML · rss · 2026-07-28
GitHub explains how the Copilot app is built around project-scoped agent sessions rather than a single chat window.
The workflow highlights four pieces: start from a project so the agent has repo context; keep multiple sessions moving in parallel; use a browser canvas to preview and refine UI changes; and let Agent Merge watch pull requests, help with review feedback, CI failures, and merge conflicts.
