A live demo and discussion of the GitHub Copilot desktop app, exploring how it fits into a developer's workflow alongside the CLI and VS Code. The hosts explain the app as a 'top-down' multi-repo view for starting your day, triaging work across projects, and delegating tasks to AI agents — contrasted with the focused, single-project views of the CLI and VS Code. Key features highlighted include Quick Chat (project-agnostic ideation that can later be attached to a repo), frictionless repo loading without cloning, and Canvas — an experimental UI that lets the agent generate interactive visual interfaces for exploring codebases beyond standard chat.
