Agent automation controls in GitHub Issues in public preview
PreviewVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
Agent automations increasingly label, type, assign, and close issues for you. GitHub Issues now shows the reason behind each change and lets you review them before they’re applied, so you decide how much to automate and when to stay in the loop.
