Copilot’s New Async Agents - The Future of AI Dev?
AI Summary
This video discusses the rise of AI agents, particularly asynchronous agents, introduced by companies like Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI. The presenter explores how these agents can be assigned issues in repositories and operate in the background, leading to potential changes in coding workflows. A hands-on demonstration using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code illustrates how tasks can be managed through pull requests and issue assignments. Key takeaways emphasize the workflow’s efficiency for simpler tasks, the importance of descriptive issue prompts, and the need for iteration through comments during code reviews. The video concludes with advice on progressively integrating AI agents into development practices for improved productivity.
