Released June 17, the Copilot app is a desktop home for agent-driven development built natively on GitHub, moving Copilot beyond the IDE. It pairs with the now-GA Copilot SDK and sandboxes for headless and autonomous workflows. (GitHub) This positions Copilot as a CLI/app-first agent platform competing directly with Claude Code and Codex, not an editor plugin anymore. The IDE-plugin era of Copilot is officially over. Everyone's converging on the standalone-agent form factor.
