GitHub has introduced a custom Android sharesheet action that allows users to transfer content from third-party applications directly into Copilot agent sessions within GitHub Mobile for Android. The feature enables developers to capture ideas, notes, messages, and project plans from elsewhere and route them into a fresh agent session, accelerating the process of converting raw concepts into productive work. This integration removes friction from the development workflow and helps teams move from ideation to implementation more efficiently.
How it works
The Android sharesheet functionality allows you to select text in external applications and send it directly into a Copilot agent session running in GitHub Mobile for Android.
Who can use this feature
The capability is available to any user who has GitHub Mobile for Android installed on their device.
Key benefits
- Convert ideas created in separate applications into concrete, executable agent tasks
- Optimize your development process when designing new functionality, organizing work, or sharing creative direction
