Extend GitHub with agent apps

GitHub has launched agent apps, AI-powered tools from partners that can be installed from the GitHub Marketplace and integrated directly into workflows. The agents can be activated by assigning them an issue, mentioning them in a pull request comment, or prompting them through a new Agents UI. GitHub plans to open access for all developers to build their own agent apps in the coming months.

Agent apps are AI agents from GitHub partners, installable from the GitHub Marketplace, and integrated directly into GitHub.

You install an agent app just like any other GitHub App from the Marketplace. Once it’s installed and enabled by an administrator, the agent becomes available inside your GitHub workflows, with three entry points:

  • Assign an issue to the agent
  • @mention the agent in a pull request comment
  • Select the agent in the Agents UI and give it a prompt

The first wave of agent apps is available today from:

Over the coming months, we’ll open up access to allow anyone to build agent apps, whether you’re a developer tools provider or just building an internal tool for your team.
