Course Overview
This course teaches software developers how to delegate complete software development tasks to an autonomous AI agent running in a secure cloud environment. It covers configuring project rules, translating ideas into detailed requirements, managing active sessions, and reviewing code changes collaboratively using GitHub Copilot Cloud Agent.
Through hands-on lessons, learners will master a browser-driven delegation workflow, codebase research, interactive planning, and automated code reviews to safely and predictably coordinate with the AI agent.
