GitHub Copilot offers new features in VS Code. Agent Mode is now available. Project Padawan takes over routine tasks automatically.

New agent mode can iterate on its own code, infer tasks not specifed, recognize errors, and fix them automatically, GitHub said.

GitHub Copilot may be the single most useful AI companion I've used, but it's about to get a lot better with agents and other improvements.

The code genie is out of the bottle, and it is now up to CXOs and technology strategists to integrate these powerful new assistants into their innovation roadmap.
