Teams already on GitHub can hand issues to Copilot, Claude or Codex, but third-party agents need the $39 Pro+ plan or above.

Kenning's take

What it does

Agent HQ is GitHub's name for making coding agents part of the GitHub workflow. Developers can assign issues to Copilot or to third-party agents such as Claude and OpenAI Codex, then follow and steer the work from a mission control view, in VS Code, the CLI, Slack or Teams. Agent work uses GitHub Actions minutes and AI Credits.

• Mission control view for agent tasks
• Assign issues from GitHub, Jira, Linear or Azure Boards
• Third-party agents including Claude and Codex
• Agents work in the background and open pull requests
• AI code review
• Enterprise controls and metrics

Who it suits. Developers and engineering teams using GitHub who want to hand work to AI agents.
