Realtime multiplayer, automation, and you! — Idan Gazit, GitHub
Idan Gazit from GitHub demonstrated how he wrote an automation description in just three lines of plain English—instructions he would give a colleague—and got Copilot to expand it into a complete workflow that updates his website from Astro 5 to Astro 7.
What matters is not just that it worked, but how he built in security: the agent can only open exactly one pull request, secret keys are completely outside the system, and permitted actions are declared clearly in advance so no one can instruct around the interface. He also presented a second prototype that runs each session in an isolated virtual environment and resembles a chat app, to keep policy constraints and infrastructure decisions visible before the agent starts working.
