Copilot Projects and computer use

Projects in the GitHub Copilot app group work across several repositories and tools, with Copilot running agents in the background. Computer use lets Copilot click and type in desktop apps.

What’s new: For developers whose tasks span many repositories or apps without an API. Both are in public preview, and Copilot asks for approval before controlling an app.

Copilot can now remember personal preferences and repository conventions across sessions and apps. It is generally available on paid plans; an opt-in dreaming feature keeps memories up to date.

What’s new: For teams tired of repeating the same instructions to an AI agent. GitHub says 93% of reviewed CLI sessions using memory followed developer preferences better.
