GitHub launches ‘Agent HQ’ to bring AI agents from OpenAI, Google, xAI and more

Microsoft’s GitHub unit has announced Agent HQ, a new “mission control” interface designed to help software developers manage the complexity of AI coding tools. The platform will allow developers to assign and monitor AI agents – tools that can autonomously complete programming tasks on a user’s behalf – from multiple vendors all in one place.

The proliferation of these agents – built by companies like GitHub, OpenAI, and Google – has created a management challenge for developers.
