GitHub has launched a powerful AI coding agent in Copilot that writes code, fixes bugs, and opens pull requests.

Announced at Microsoft 's annual developer conference, Build 2025, GitHub launched a new and updated version of its Copilot AI assistant designed to streamline the integration of computer-aided coding even further. "GitHub Copilot now includes an asynchronous coding agent, embedded directly in GitHub and accessible from VS Code," the company wrote.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) declared that it will integrate an AI coding agent created by the Google-backed startup Anthropic into its GitHub platform. Executive Vice President Jay Parikh announced it on Tuesday during the company’s annual developer conference.
