GitHub launched Copilot integrations for Slack and Microsoft Teams. Teammates can mention @GitHub in the channels where work is already coordinated to plan changes, investigate problems, and hand coding tasks to agents. The update embeds agentic work in existing chat surfaces instead of forcing a context switch back to the IDE.
Key Takeaways
- βMention @GitHub in Slack or Teams to plan diffs, investigate issues, and hand off coding tasks.
- βAgentic work starts in the chat surface teams already use, cutting IDE context switches.
- βFits on-call, review, and requirements threads that need an agent without leaving the channel.
