GitHub Copilot App Now Runs Several AI Agents In Parallel

GitHub Copilot App Now Runs Several AI Agents In Parallel

Kayla Cinnamon's GitHub guide shows each Copilot agent session running on its own Git worktree, tracked via a sessions view.

  • Each agent session runs on its own Git worktree, so sessions never interfere with each other.
  • GitHub advises beginners to start two small tasks at once, a low-stakes way to learn.
  • One example runs a feature build, accessibility review, and tests on one repo at once.

Why it matters: Running several agents at once does not multiply the coder; it multiplies the code someone must still review.
