- Github’s latest co-pilot agent is integrated directly into the platform
- It will start a secure development environment and clone your repository before cracking
- If you have to make other modifications, leave a comment in the wire
Announced at the annual conference of Microsoft developers, Build 2025, Github has launched a new update version of its COPILOT AI assistant designed to further rationalize the integration of computer assisted coding.
“Github Copilot now includes an asynchronous coding agent, integrated directly into Github and accessible from VS code,” wrote the company.
GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke explained how the agent is working in the background when you attribute a GitHub problem to Copilot or invite him to the VS code, adding that he has improved productivity without endangering the safety of organizations.

“Having a co -pilot in your team does not mean weakening your security posture – existing policies like branch protections always apply to the way you expect,” said Dohmke.
The new tool works by starting a secure development environment via GitHub actions, cloning the deposit, analyzing the code base and pushing towards a draft traction request. Users can observe session newspapers for greater visibility, validation and progression, the co -pilot agent promising to help through the implementation of features, bug corrections, test extensions, refactoring and documentation improvements.
Dohmke also noted that users can give the coding agent access to a wider context outside of Github using the model context protocol (MCP).
The Co -Pilot agent acts a bit like a human colleague in that he will mark you for examination, where you can then leave another comment asking him to make more modifications, which he treats automatically.
Stressing business quality security measures, Github noted: “Internet access to the agent is closely limited to a reliable destination list that you can personalize.” Github Actions Workflows also needs developers approval.
COPILOT ENTERPRISE AND COPILOT PRO + will be the first types of account to have access to the new powerful agent from GitHub, with each request for a model the agent cost a premium request from June 4, 2025.
GPT-4.1, GPT-4O, Claude 3.5 SONNET, Claude 3.7 SONNET and GEMINI 2.5 Pro each represent a premium demand, but the more powerful and complex models have considerably higher multipliers. For example, a question using O1 costs 10 premium requests, and GPT-4.5 has a 50x multiplier. On the other hand, Gemini 2.0 Flash has a 0.25x multiplier, which means that four questions cost premium demand.
