GitHub just launched canvases in the Copilot app, interactive workspaces where you and AI agents build together.
A canvas is a shared surface where developers and agents work together in real time. Start one with slash create canvas in your Copilot session.
The blog shows an issue triage helper, an interactive codebase diagram you can hover and filter, plus a knowledge finder pulling context from Slack.
Old workflow was linear chat replies. Canvases give you a live surface the agent updates while you click and edit.
Canvases are out now in the GitHub Copilot app. Type slash create canvas.
