GitHub shows how to scale custom Copilot agents from laptop to CI, with 200 agents in one repo
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-10-11
At AI Engineer World's Fair 2026, Jose Palafox (Field Copilot Specialist, 6.5 years at GitHub) walks through scaling custom agents from one laptop to an entire org and CI pipelines.
- Local to autonomous: how Copilot works under the hood, built-in Copilot CLI agents, and building custom agents with the agent builder, including model selection
- Org-wide sharing: distribute agents via a marketplace and run them across repositories with Orchestrate
- CI integration: GitHub Agentic Workflows runs headless Copilot CLI in GitHub Actions, triggered by slash commands in issues. He demos a repo with 200 agents covering different pipeline stages, including agents that investigate their own cost overruns
