Visual Studio 18.5 GA ships a guided Debugger Agent workflow in Copilot Chat that forms a hypothesis, sets breakpoints, rides along through a repro, validates against runtime state, and proposes a fix.

GitHub Copilot Modernization is pitched as an Assess, Plan, Execute loop for migrating legacy .NET apps. The assessment phase is where the value lives: an inventory report, categorized blockers, and file-level remediation guidance you can diff like code.

The .NET team shares ten months of real data on running GitHub's Copilot Coding Agent in dotnet/runtime: 878 PRs, a 67.9% merge rate, and clear lessons on where AI-assisted development helps and where it still falls short.
