GitHub Copilot Automations now learn from outcomes on GitHub. They use signals like label changes, comment acceptance, and pull request merges. Automations propose prompt improvements based on these signals. Users review and approve each proposed change before it applies. Copilot can create a group of automations to form a self-improvement loop. Improvement automations analyze responses and suggest refinements. Users receive GitHub notifications for each proposed change. The feature is available on paid Copilot plans only.
