AI brief

The GitHub Copilot app features Canvas, a customizable, bidirectional interface (like a kanban board, checklist, or spreadsheet) that users can create using the /create-canvas skill and a plain English description. Users must specify the desired workflow, interface actions, and agent capabilities. The canvas allows for real-time, simultaneous collaboration between the user and the agent, and created canvases can be saved as reusable extensions for personal or team use.
