We’ve been partnering with Jacob and team to make software creation a natural part of knowledge work. The mission is simple: keep lowering the floor for who gets to build.

Your coding agent can write the PR. That doesn’t remove the need for review. Try Copilot code review on a PR created by another agent, then inspect the findings alongside your tests
The best projects are using more automated reviews, validation/smoke testing, auto-rollbacks than ever before to keep up with the pace. PRs are growing incredibly quickly, we see Copilot Code Review being used a TON more even if you use different agents to create the PR.

Same or better quality, much lower cost, no manual model orchestration. That's what we're delivering Project HydraFusion from GitHub. Early tests have been very positive and we're improving hourly. Give it a try and let us know what you think. 👇 github.blog/ai-and-ml/github…

Try the new foundry canvas! Great way to build and manage agents all from GitHub Copilot App which has become my daily driver for all things AI
Discover, install, and manage customizations that allow the GitHub Copilot app to work just like you and your team with Customize tab! github.blog/changelog/2026-0…

Canvases are the foundation. Next, we’re turning more integrations from UX into AX. Designed for agents, not just humans. That shift has me fired up. 🌶️🔥
The GitHub Copilot app now supports Azure DevOps! You can now view your work - including assigned issues and PRs - and kick off sessions directly from those artifacts. Grab it from new Customize tab in the app :)

Asked my agent(s) Do you have any questions? Response - "I have enough to cook — no questions." 🔥

AI coding agents can generate features fast, but can package them in one giant, hard-to-review pull request. 😬 Next time, try breaking the work into a stack of focused, ordered PRs. 🧵

GitHub Spark helped turn ideas into apps fast. If you’re exporting one to keep building, I made a Copilot CLI plugin that converts Spark apps to Aspire + Microsoft Foundry—with persistence, AI migration, orchestration, and validation. github.com/spboyer/spark-to-… @aspiredotdev
GitHub Spark stops new user sign-ups and app creation from August 3, 2026, and retires on August 31, 2026. • Existing apps keep working; export app code by August 31 to keep editing. github.blog/changelog/2026-0…

Everyone building agent UX should run a local model at least once. It makes tokens, latency, heat, and cost feel real. That changes product design: model choice should be visible enough that “use the expensive brain for a trivial task” feels like an explicit tradeoff.
Everyone should try to run a model locally so you can get a feeling for just how much computer is being used when you send "stage and commit" to Sol Extra High.
