AI agents that do more than write code

Assign work, choose the right model, and steer agents from anywhere. Copilot and third-party agents like Claude by Anthropic and OpenAI Codex handle the execution while you stay focused on what to build next.

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.

Features

Your backlog doesn’t stand a chance

Stop letting tasks pile up. Point Copilot at the issues that keep slipping and let it chip away at your backlog while you focus on the work that actually needs you.

Connect Copilot to your workflow

From GitHub Issues, Azure Boards, Jira, Raycast, or Linear, assign Copilot to an issue and your full planning context travels with it. You can also delegate from your favorite IDE, such as VS Code, or the CLI.
