Overview

The GitHub Copilot app is a desktop application purpose-built for agent-driven development. It gives you a single place to direct AI agents across parallel workstreams, work with GitHub issues and pull requests, and manage the full development lifecycle—without context-switching between terminals, IDEs, and browser tabs.

The app is built on GitHub Copilot CLI and integrates natively with GitHub, so your repositories, branches, and CI pipelines work out of the box. It's designed for workflows where you want to run multiple agents in parallel and stay focused on directing work rather than doing it all yourself.
