More from GitHub Universe: Copilot Projects runs and assigns agents toward a goal, and GitHub intelligence brings in team context
Announced October 28, 2026
Verified (fact)
At GitHub Universe 2026, GitHub unveiled Copilot Projects, which launches sub-agents and divides up work based on a development goal. A Copilot orchestrator coordinates tasks ranging from a single repository to work spanning multiple repositories, and each agent's finished work becomes a PR shown in the project overview. GitHub also introduced GitHub intelligence, which draws on a team's preferences, rules, and skills as well as its repositories, and a Copilot app for work that spans multiple repositories and sessions.
Why it matters (interpretation)
It points toward developers focusing on setting goals and reviewing results while even agent coordination is automated, showing coding tools moving beyond single sessions to project-level orchestration.
