GitHub Copilot app adds Projects and computer use in public preview

GitHub says the GitHub Copilot app now has Projects, in public preview: one place for work that spans several repositories or sessions, or that has no repository at all. A user describes a goal and adds context such as repositories, design mocks, Slack threads or meeting notes, picks models and tools, and Copilot runs as many agents as needed and returns results such as pull requests for review. Project automations cover repeatable tasks, for example creating a promo video whenever a feature lands. Context from connected tools such as Slack and Figma can be used to research a request or draft a specification.

Computer use is also in public preview on macOS and Windows. Copilot can read app content, click controls, enter text and move across desktop apps, including ones with no API, command line or MCP integration. It asks for approval before controlling an app, and organizations can disable it through managed settings. Users turn it on under Settings > Computer Use; macOS needs Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions.
