This week, GitHub Copilot introduces Jira integration in Copilot app and adaptive model orchestration with Project HydraFusion in Copilot CLI. We also introduced new agent automation in Visual Studio Code and expanded enterprise controls for Copilot in JetBrains.
GitHub Copilot app
Turn Jira issues into action. Bring Jira issues into a shared canvas, choose what moves forward, and let Copilot carry the context into investigation, implementation, and pull request preparation.
Download [the Copilot app](https://github.com/features/ai/github-app?utm_source=download-app-09-07&utm_medium=changelog&utm_campaign=weekly-copilot-launches-aug-2026).
### [GitHub Copilot CLI](#github-copilot-cli)
Project HydraFusion is now in /experimental. HydraFusion delivers automated semantic routing between local, cloud, and compound models. You select HydraFusion like any other model, and it chooses a workflow that balances performance, cost, and latency for each task.

### [VS Code 1.137 release updates](#vs-code-1-137-release-updates)
- Schedule recurring agent tasks to run hourly, daily, or weekly, or run them on demand with automations, now in public preview.
- Voice mode is now in experimental so you can talk to, interrupt, or redirect Copilot while it works on your code.
