Put Copilot to work in the background

Kick off a task and move on. Copilot works asynchronously — so by the time you check back in, there's a plan to review, code to look at, or a PR ready to merge.

Choose the right agent for the job

Pick from Copilot, third-party agents like Claude and Codex, or custom agents to get the work done right.

Manage agents and tasks together

See and steer tasks from one unified view. It’s like a mission control center for everything your agents touch.
