⏰ Put recurring agent work on a schedule. Automations (Preview) can catch you up on changes, triage issues, or find bugs hourly, daily, or weekly. Enable ⚙️ chat automations enabled, then open Automations in the Agents window.

🎙️ Talk with your agent while it works. Voice Mode (Experimental) lets you speak with an agent and interrupt or redirect it while it works on your code. Enable ⚙️ agents voice enabled, then select Voice Mode in the chat input.

📁 Continue a quick chat in a workspace without starting over. Attach a local folder to an existing quick chat and keep its title, conversation history, and current request. The agent continues with access to your project files.

🐙 Review GitHub issues and pull requests without switching to a browser. Open issue and pull request links directly in the Agents window, even when the repository isn't open. Install the GitHub Pull Requests extension, then enable ⚙️ extensions experimental enableAgentsWindowCapability

🐾 Meet the VS Code pet! Enter /vscode-pet in chat to meet it, then submit your idea for its name from September 10 through September 17.
