GitHub Copilot is evolving into an independent agent with a simultaneous code test

Microsoft Hit Ai Programing tool Copilot He wants to move away from simply helping people complete code and starting today, users will be allowed to prepare an unsafe code test.

This step brings Copilot To work independently for developers, maintain the competitiveness of the application as the space of an artificial coding assistant has become more crowded with the tools operating in Amnesty International, including Microsoft Investment The competing software engineering agent was released from Openai on Friday.

Github Copilot customer, announced for the first time in the name Padawan project again in FebruaryYou will achieve, test and repeat a symbol. Upon invoking, Copilot Agent can move in RePO files, edit files, run orders, and open withdrawals.

Mario Rodriguez, chief product official in GitHub, Venturebeat that Github Copilot Agent can open developers to focus on other tasks while ensuring any previous code they wrote his works.

“I can go into a problem, and before that, I needed to return to IDE, cloning that the ribo opened the problem to try to discover it, etc., etc.”. “Now I can only set him to Copilot and he is with other than my peers.”

He added that the Copilot agent is integrating in GitHub and follows the user style, and that the human developer can monitor it because the agent records the steps of his thinking and verification.

The developer can set the issue to the agent as much as it does for human co -workers. The worker will then respond with Eyes Emoji to indicate that he will start solving the problem. The tap is the agent Gaybab’s verbs To pave the apparent device, then clone the warehouse. He decides his workflow, analyzes the code database using the RAG GitHub icon searches, and constantly updates the withdrawal request. Once you are completed, the agent will mark the user for review.

The agent considers in the context from the discussion of previous drawing request and follows any instructions for restoring ribo.

Change the coding space

GitHub was one of the first to operate coding assistants to help developers start creating code faster. Over time, more and more coding assistants came out, and the generation of code and review has become an expected service for artificial intelligence platforms.

Github Copilot now must compete not only with Chatgpt, Gemini and Claud coding capabilities Google‘s Help symbol And Openai’s Manuscript.

But since the code created by artificial intelligence becomes more acceptable, especially with the growth of coding, coding services such as Github Copilot should develop beyond the completion of the symbol. Making Copilot is more an agent that makes coding help self -independence, and avoids human participation in the most steps to allow her for her own work. At the same time, the developer focuses on something else.

Rodriguez said: “So before you can complete the code, which you are always there, your productivity will not increase as much because you press every one -key pressure,” said Rodriguez. “It is an agent experience; it’s completely incomplete for you. You can do one task, Copilot can carry out five others, and this is the value in the end.”

Rodriguez said this opens the most simultaneous capabilities of Jaithb.

MCP support to keep the code work

Another new thing for GitHub is MCP support, so that Copilot can communicate and obtain additional data for any projects you review.

McP or Form context protocolThe interim operation platform for the quick agent from manStandardization of more than one agent, but also provides data transfer.

If the agent realizes that the problem lacks the context or important data, for example, a broken image in the code, the agent can call MCP server to recover information from the MCP server for the data source.

Rodriguez said that the agent of Gaytap Koselot, like his former name Baduan, is learning and helping the developers to edit them to work on their ideas without focusing a lot on preserving the code.

“If you think software is running everything in the world at the present time, and that the next big invention will be supported by programs, what you want to do is to give these developers the best tools on this planet. Copilot can work on other projects, and then I can work on the creativity that needs me, as creativity,.”
