GitHub Copilot Becomes Autonomous with Async Testing - GitHub Copilot has evolved into an autonomous agent called Copilot Agent, allowing for asynchronous code testing and management. It can independently check, test, and iterate code, freeing developers to focus on creative tasks. The agent integrates with GitHub, maintaining user style and logging its processes.
Using GitHub Actions and the Model Context Protocol, Copilot Agent manages tasks and retrieves data, enhancing developer productivity by autonomously handling multiple workflows. This advancement ensures competitiveness in the expanding AI coding assistant market.
