The GitHub Copilot app is a desktop experience built from the ground up for agent-native development. As agents become a central part of your development workflow, you need a place where you can see multiple agents working in parallel, inspect their progress, and take control when needed—all without context-switching between windows or losing track of what's running.

## What Is the GitHub Copilot app?

The Copilot app is a standalone desktop application that serves as a control center for agentic development. Instead of managing agents through GitHub.com pull requests, issues, and CLI windows, the Copilot app brings everything into one unified interface.

### Automations
|
||||
|

The Copilot app includes built-in automations that can run scheduled tasks for you using the same agentic technology. You can use templates out of the box or create your own.
|
||||
|
||||
Automations run in the context of a repository, so they can access issues, pull requests, and code. You can also choose whether they run as a plan, an interactive session, or on autopilot.
|
||||
|
||||
### Isolated Worktrees for Parallel Work

||||
|
||||
Each session the Copilot app creates runs in its own **git worktree**—a real, isolated copy of your branch. This is critical for parallel agent work:

When you create a session in the Copilot app, the agent automatically loads your repository's configuration and runs with your custom setup. No additional configuration needed.
