    Put your agent to work

    Partner with Copilot to plan, edit, and build together.

    Strategy before code

    Plan mode lets you review and approve the blueprint before the agent starts coding.

    From prompt to project

    Agent mode helps make changes at scale by analyzing code, proposing edits, running tests, and validating results across multiple files.

    Explore agent mode

    Configure once, align always

    AGENTS.md enables you to share project-specific instructions and keep all agents in sync with your team’s coding practices.

    Harness your agents

    Choose the right agent for the job, from Copilot to a growing ecosystem of third-party agents and platforms.

    A VS Code window shows a sidebar with agent sessions. Under OpenAI Codex Agent, a button says "Start a coding session."

    The right agent for every challenge. Choose from a growing ecosystem of third-party coding agents over the coming months to tackle any challenge, right from your editor.

    • More agents, no extra accounts. Access a growing roster of agents with your Copilot subscription. Copilot Pro+ and Copilot Enterprise users get access to Claude by Anthropic and OpenAI Codex in VS Code and GitHub.
    • A unified agent workflow. Use your favorite agent for real-time coding in VS Code, or assign it to issues and pull requests for background work.

    Let Copilot work in parallel

    Hand off tasks to Copilot and get a pull request back while staying in the flow.

    Native MCP server integration

    Discover and install custom MCP servers from the GitHub MCP Registry, without leaving VS Code.

    Multi-platform support

    Work with Copilot wherever you code, whether natively in Visual Studio Code, or through extensions across Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, Xcode, and Neovim.

    Built for performance and choice

    Copilot delivers instant, context-aware performance and gives you the flexibility to choose the right model for your work.

    Since September 2025, Copilot delivers 2x higher throughput, 37.6% better retrieval, and an 8x smaller index size for faster, more accurate results.
