# GitHub Copilot app, Universe releases

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 2 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub Copilot app adds Projects for work that spans repositories, specs, designs, and Slack threads. You describe a goal, add context like repositories or design mocks, and Copilot runs multiple agents and returns results such as pull requests for review. Project automations can trigger repeatable tasks, like generating a promo video when a feature lands. Copilot Projects is now in public preview. Separately, a new Computer Use feature, also in public preview on macOS and Windows, lets Copilot read app content, click controls, and navigate desktop apps that lack an API or CLI, with approval required before it takes control.

## Questions this post answers

### What is Computer Use in the GitHub Copilot app?

Computer use is a public preview feature on macOS and Windows that lets Copilot read app content, click controls, enter or edit text, and navigate across desktop apps, including ones without an API, command-line interface, or MCP integration. Copilot asks for approval before controlling an app, and organizations can disable it via managed settings. Enable it under Settings > Computer Use.

### What are Projects in the GitHub Copilot app?

Projects are a feature in the GitHub Copilot app, now in public preview, that gives work spanning multiple repositories, specs, designs, or Slack threads a single home with shared context, agents, and results. You describe a goal, add context such as repositories or design mocks, choose models and tools, and Copilot runs as many agents as needed, returning results like pull requests for review. Automations can trigger repeatable tasks such as generating a promo video on feature launch.
