What they did

GitHub's blog shows assigning an issue directly to Copilot's coding agent. It works in a GitHub Actions environment, commits changes, runs your tests and linters, and opens a pull request for review.

How it went

The agent runs in the background and asks for review when it's done. Another person has to approve the pull request, not the person who opened the issue.

Worth knowing

  • Vendor walkthrough.
  • Comments added to the issue after assignment aren't seen. Leave feedback on the pull request instead.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

[In the issue body] Fix [bug/feature]. Acceptance: [criteria]. Touch only [paths]. Add tests for [cases] and make sure [test command] passes.

Recommended

  2. Open Grok Bot chat and paste it. Replace any [bracketed] placeholders.
  3. Connect the listed tools (GitHub) as connectors when Grok Bot asks.

Hermes Agent Nearly Doubled Speech-to-Text Accuracy on Hard Words: 99 to 183 of 240

A user turned his 15K saved Wispr Flow dictations into a test set for the local Whisper model behind his Hermes Agent. The agent turned his Wispr dictionary into a hint list, diffed raw vs corrected text to find words Whisper keeps mishearing, made find-and-fix rules, and tested every rule against the full history. With no fine-tuning, dictionary words went from 99/240 to 183/240 on Wispr clips and 19/45 to 43/45 on sentences he read aloud. It now archives the data nightly and looks for new fixes weekly.
