# Going beyond the code through the GitHub Copilot App: how to unlock you and your team’s superpower


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Developing great software takes more than just writing good code. Which is why the GitHub Copilot App is built to go beyond the code! In this session, you'll discover how developers, business users, and all types of "builders" are using the GitHub Copilot App to supercharge their workflows, from prioritization and documentation to data analysis and cross-team coordination. Through a short demo grounded in real customer examples and GitHub's own use cases, you'll experience how different organizations are enabling builders to unlock their superpowers through the GitHub Copilot App. Walk away with practical patterns for not only yourself, but to accelerate adoption at your organization.
