GitHub Copilot has moved far beyond autocomplete. In 2026, it is an autonomous coding agent, a code reviewer, a test generator, a documentation writer — and for developers who know how to use it properly, a genuine force multiplier. But most developers are only using 20% of what it can do. This session changes that.

In this high-energy, demo-driven session, we go from zero (what even is Copilot?) to hero (autonomous agent mode, custom instructions, multi-file edits, and workflow integration) in 60 minutes. You will watch a real .NET application get built, tested, and documented faster than you thought possible — with Copilot as a collaborator, not just a suggester.

We cut through the hype and focus on what actually works in a professional development workflow: how to write prompts that produce great results, how to use Copilot Workspace for larger features, how to set up custom instructions that make Copilot fit your team's standards, and how to integrate Copilot into your CI/CD pipeline for automated code review and test generation.

🚀 What you will learn:
✅ The full Copilot toolkit in 2026: from completions to autonomous agents
✅ Prompt engineering techniques that actually produce quality code
✅ Custom instructions: making Copilot follow your team's standards automatically
✅ Copilot for tests, docs, and code review — beyond just writing code
✅ How to build a Copilot-augmented workflow your entire team will adopt
