This session introduces the GitHub Copilot App, a new desktop experience for agent-driven development that allows developers to hand off issues to AI agents, watch them work in real time, review diffs, and merge changes all from a single screen. The hosts demonstrate the app's holistic project view, seamless project access without manual cloning, and the Canvas feature for visual interaction with AI agents across repositories. This is designed for developers interested in AI-assisted coding workflows and those wanting to integrate AI agents into their development process.
