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.
