GitHub Agent HQ removes friction in software development by letting you run coding agents from multiple providers directly inside GitHub and your editor, keeping context, history, and review attached to your work. Copilot Pro+ and Copilot Enterprise users can run multiple coding agents directly inside GitHub, GitHub Mobile, and Visual Studio Code, with Copilot CLI support coming soon.

Key features include the ability to use agents like GitHub Copilot, Claude by Anthropic, and OpenAI Codex (both in public preview) today. You can move from idea to implementation using different agents for different steps without switching tools or losing context. Agent HQ also lets you compare how different agents approach the same problem by assigning multiple agents to a task and seeing how Copilot, Claude, and Codex reason about tradeoffs and arrive at different solutions.

The platform operates directly within GitHub and VS Code workflows, making coding agents native to existing development processes rather than external tools. Instead of copying and pasting context between tools, documents, and threads, all discussion and proposed changes stay attached to the repository itself. Agent-generated changes show up as draft pull requests and comments, reviewed the same way you'd review a teammate's work.

Benefits include exploring tradeoffs early by running agents in parallel to surface competing approaches and edge cases before code hardens. Users can keep context attached to the work since agents operate inside repositories, issues, and pull requests instead of starting from stateless prompts. There are no new dashboards to learn, and no separate AI workflows to manage as everything runs inside environments developers already use.

Agent HQ is built for teams with org-wide visibility and systematic control over how AI interacts with codebases. Enterprise admins can define which agents and models are permitted across the organization through access and security policies. The platform includes code quality checks, automated first-pass review, impact metrics tracking, and enterprise-grade security and auditability features.
