Unlike Co-pilot Chat, which offers one-step suggestions, Agent Mode takes full ownership of multi-step tasks. It analyses your codebase, edits files, executes terminal commands, and leverages tools like test runners and linters โ€” all with your permission.

You can now type a high-level request like:

  1. Use version 17.14 or later.
  2. Open Feature Search (Ctrl + Q) and search for copilot-chat.agent.
  3. Enable ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜: ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.
  4. Switch the Co-pilot Chat tab to ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ mode.

This is just the beginning of how AI can collaborate in your development workflow.
