GitHub opens Copilot app preview to paid users
GitHub expanded the Copilot app technical preview on June 2, 2026 to existing Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise customers. The app can start agent sessions from issues, pull requests, prompts or local folders, run parallel work in isolated branches and worktrees, and help open pull requests through normal review checks.
For a solo founder, this lowers the friction between noticing a product task and getting a reviewable change. The important shift is not that AI writes more code; it is that the work can start from the issue, keep its own branch and still pass through review instead of living as a risky chat transcript. The trap is using faster code generation to avoid the harder business question. A founder can now spin up more implementation work, so the discipline has to move upstream: only feed the agent tasks tied to demand, onboarding, conversion, retention or support evidence.
Analysis
Test the Copilot app on one small bug fix or onboarding improvement and require a normal pull request review before merge. Do not use it to create speculative features until the buyer signal is clear.
