GitHub Next: Exploring the Future of Agentic Development

GitHub Next is GitHub's labs team, where we look ahead at how software development might evolve — and the only reliable way to do that is by building real things. In this session, the team that originally created GitHub Copilot shares an early look at new ways developers could work with AI agents and with each other. As code becomes easier to generate but harder to reason about, how do we automate what was previously out of reach? And how do humans and agents collaborate to arrive at the right code, not just more of it? This talk offers a candid look at the raw ideas and work-in-progress shaping the future of agentic development.
