Agents In Use
GitHub Copilot, in use.GitHub Copilot agents research repositories, implement changes and prepare work for human review.
GitHub Copilot use cases on Agents In Use cover Software & DevOps; Security; Content & creative. These linked accounts describe what people asked the agent to do and the outcomes they reported.
Accounts include “How to use Copilot to reconcile migration output” (GitHub Copilot); “How to use Copilot to bind approvals to commits” (GitHub Copilot); “How to use Copilot to protect signup passwords” (GitHub Copilot).
In “How to use Copilot to reconcile migration output”, Mike-Demo defined the acceptance criteria and merged the work; subsequent automated review reported four unresolved findings, so the merge is not presented as proof of correctness. In “How to use Copilot to bind approvals to commits”, The owner instructed Copilot to keep risky behavior changes report-only. Human review remained pending, and the source acknowledged absent tests for organization-wide mutations.
