GitHub
No mandate reported. GitHub (part of Microsoft) builds github.com with its own Copilot agents, and its COO describes daily internal use of agent workflows.[1][3]
Tools
- GitHub Copilot coding agent, app and CLI (GitHub's own products)[1][3]
- Copilot cloud agents and skills[1]

Guardrails
- Copilot's coding agent is assigned issues in the core github.com repository; GitHub says its PRs merge at a lower rate than human PRs and that it targets the 'tedious 80%' of work.[3]
Hiring, reviews & process changes
- Agent-generated load on the platform forced GitHub to raise its capacity planning from 10x to 30x.[2]
Reported results
- GitHub uptime fell below 85% in April 2026, and a merge-queue bug reverted code in 658 repositories, as agent traffic surged.[2]
Metric tags: Agent autonomy, Adoption rate, Quality / defects
Editor's note: Vendor-authored: GitHub sells Copilot and is describing its own use of it. GitHub is listed separately from its parent, Microsoft. On Latent Space, a figure of 80% of PRs coming from agents was offered as a hypothetical, not a measured metric, so it is not shown here.
