GitHub has introduced a major update to Agent HQ, allowing Copilot Pro+ and Copilot Enterprise subscribers to run multiple coding agents, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude by Anthropic, and OpenAI Codex, directly inside GitHub, GitHub Mobile, and Visual Studio Code. This update is now publicly available in preview for eligible users, with plans to expand access to more Copilot subscription tiers soon. The feature is tailored for software developers and enterprise teams aiming to streamline their coding, review, and collaboration workflows without shifting between tools.
🙌 You can now use @claudeai and @OpenAI’s Codex in GitHub and @code with your GitHub Copilot Pro+ or Copilot Enterprise subscription.

Agent HQ supports asynchronous and parallel use of different AI agents, letting users select the most suitable agent for specific coding, review, or analysis tasks. Agents can be enabled individually via user settings, and all session activity is logged and reviewable within the same repository workflow. This ensures traceability and accountability, with generated artifacts like comments, drafts, and suggested code changes integrated directly into collaboration threads. The platform enables teams to:
- Compare agent output
- Assign agents to issues and pull requests
- Maintain an organized review process with enterprise-grade audit logging and access management
Additional administrative controls allow organizations to set usage policies and monitor metrics through a dedicated dashboard.
GitHub, as the company behind this release, has a longstanding focus on developer productivity and secure, collaborative coding. By embedding third-party AI agents into its core platforms, GitHub is furthering its mission to centralize code creation and review. The company is working with partners such as Anthropic and OpenAI, with future plans to add agents from Google, Cognition, and xAI, expanding developer choices within GitHub’s trusted environment.
