GitHub Copilot Visual Studio April Update: Agentic Workflows, Cloud Agent Sessions from IDE, Debugger Agent

GitHub Changelog·medium signal

The April 30 update to Copilot in Visual Studio centers on agentic workflows: cloud agent sessions now launch directly from the IDE, custom agents gain user-level support, and a new Debugger agent validates fixes against live runtime behavior. Cloud agent startup is 20% faster via optimized runner environments built with GitHub Actions custom images. Also: agentic power now available in the terminal for build/debug/deploy without leaving the CLI.
