Why we included this project

This is GitHub's own desktop app for the agent side of Copilot, not a community-built wrapper. Instead of a single chat window, it treats agent work as parallel sessions you can actually watch: each one runs in its own isolated git worktree, canvases put plans, terminal output, previews, and diffs on one inspectable surface, and cloud sessions keep agents running in hosted environments you can resume from another machine. The My Work view groups sessions, issues, and pull requests so you can decide what needs attention next, while Agent Merge carries pull requests through review and checks. Anyone on a Copilot plan, including the free tier, can install it, and BYOK support means you are not locked to GitHub's own models. Teams running several agent tasks at once get visibility and control over agent-produced changes rather than a black box.
