GitHub introduced Agent HQ; Easy access to coding agents

company GitHub By introducing a new platform called Agent HQ It has taken an important step in the direction of managing and providing artificial intelligence agents of different coding companies to its users. According to CNBC, the platform acts as a control center and allows developers to control, direct and evaluate multiple AI agents from various sources in a single environment. In this platform, coding agents from companies OpenAI, Google, Entropic, xAI and Cognition In addition to GitHub’s own agent, that is copilot are made available.

According to GitHub COO Kyle Diggle, the goal of Agent HQ is to “bring order to the chaos of innovation.” He emphasizes that developers are now faced with multiple agents and different ways of performing tasks, and Agent HQ tries to organize this process in the form of a single platform. This new center allows users to divide different tasks between agents, monitor their progress in real-time, and modify the execution path if needed.

Users with a GitHub Copilot subscription will soon have access to a dashboard that allows them to control, manage, and track the performance of multiple AI agents. Also, this platform supports the simultaneous execution of multiple agents to perform a single task so that the developer can choose the best result among the outputs. The company also announced that Copilot Pro Plus users who are members of the VS Code Insiders program will be able to access the OpenAI Codex this week.

In addition, GitHub has introduced other features. Including the new Plan Mode in the VS Code environment, which, with the help of Copilot, designs the execution steps of a task step by step so that the artificial intelligence agent can execute it later. Also, the code review stage has been added to Copilot so that this agent can use tools like CodeQL Used to evaluate the quality of the code before handing it over to the developer.

GitHub, which became a subsidiary of Microsoft in 2018, now hosts more than 180 million developers on its platform and is experiencing the fastest growth rate in its history, according to company executives. Diggle added in the end:

“As we enter an era where artificial intelligence tools are abundantly available, GitHub strives not to let this abundance lead to clutter and to provide a consistent, efficient, and accessible experience for all developers.”
