From Your Laptop to the Pipeline: Scaling Custom Agents with GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot supports autonomous pipeline agents and local agents via IDE, CLI, and SDK
“if you want to create agents that work in Slack or Teams, providing individual features to team members who may not have a GitHub license, you can do that quite easily with the SDK”
GitHub's José Palafox outlines two agent modes on the Copilot platform: autonomous agents for CI/CD pipelines and local agents for interactive dev tasks. The talk highlights a CLI-to-cloud handoff feature and an SDK for embedding Copilot agents in Slack or Teams without requiring GitHub licenses. Practical scaling guidance for enterprise teams adopting agentic workflows, but no new product announcement.
