Announced Agent HQ - a future open platform that will allow developers to manage, track, and customize any AI agents (from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others) in one place. Mission Control is a unified interface in GitHub, Mobile, CLI, and VS Code for managing agent operations.

GitHub Copilot received integration updates into workflows. Now it can be assigned tasks from Slack, Microsoft Teams, and other tools - it will use discussion context to perform work.

Custom agents can be defined using a Markdown configuration file in the .github/agents folder of your repository. These allow you to define agent "personas" by specifying instructions, tool selections, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Configured agents can be invoked from the Copilot CLI using the /agent command.

Also introduced is an "agent-powered" code review, where Copilot, in combination with CodeQL, automatically finds and fixes security vulnerabilities. For teams, GitHub Code Quality is a new feature for analyzing code quality, reliability, and maintainability across the entire organization.

For VS Code, a new Plan Mode has been announced, which allows creating a step-by-step plan for task implementation before writing code. Finally, there is support for the AGENTS.md context definition standard.
