Adoption will depend on whether agents can complete cross-repository work reliably, with review and costs clear to the developer.\n\n[Satya Nadella (@satyanadella)](https://x.com/satyanadella) used GitHub Universe on October 28th to present GitHub Copilot as an agent orchestration system: one that selects models, runs agents across repositories and returns work for developers to review. The [Microsoft chairman and CEO's post](https://x.com/satyanadella/status/2115490856685990244) highlighted GitHub Copilot Fusion, Copilot Projects and the availability of GitHub's Copilot harness in Microsoft Foundry.\n\nWhen you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
