GitHub introduced Agent HQ—a major step toward unifying how developers collaborate with AI. The platform reimagines the developer workflow by allowing teams to orchestrate any AI agent, anytime, anywhere, all within GitHub’s trusted environment.

For years, developers have battled tool fragmentation—powerful yet disconnected systems that slow productivity. GitHub’s new approach aims to fix that once and for all, integrating intelligent agents directly into its core ecosystem.

From Copilot to Command Center: GitHub’s Evolution

GitHub has always been at the forefront of simplifying complex developer tasks—from making Git accessible to streamlining code reviews through pull requests and automating deployments with Actions. Now, with over 180 million developers worldwide and a new developer joining every second, GitHub’s pace of growth has never been faster.

Even more striking, 80% of new users adopt GitHub Copilot within their first week, solidifying AI as an essential partner in modern coding. Agent HQ takes that collaboration further, turning GitHub from a code platform into a complete, intelligence-powered workflow.

Unifying Every AI Agent Under One Platform

At the heart of Agent HQ lies a clear vision: agents should work the way developers already do, not the other way around. Instead of being external tools bolted onto workflows, agents are now native to the GitHub experience.

This means developers will soon be able to access AI agents from leading organizations such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition, and xAI—all directly integrated with GitHub. These capabilities will roll out gradually as part of paid GitHub Copilot subscriptions, creating a seamless ecosystem for multi-agent collaboration.

Inside Agent HQ: Mission Control for AI

Agent HQ introduces several new capabilities designed to make managing and coordinating AI agents effortless and secure:

  • Mission Control: A central hub for assigning, tracking, and directing multiple AI agents in one place.

  • VS Code Enhancements: New features that let developers plan, customize, and fine-tune agent behavior natively within their coding environment.

  • Agentic Code Review: A next-generation system where AI helps review and refine code while maintaining developer oversight.

  • Control Plane Governance: Enterprise-grade control over AI usage, access, and safety parameters.

  • AI Metrics Dashboard: Transparent insights into how agents impact productivity and project outcomes.

Built on Trust, Designed for the Future

GitHub’s commitment goes beyond innovation—it’s about reinforcing the foundation developers depend on daily. Agent HQ builds upon that trust by merging reliability with cutting-edge AI collaboration.
