DevEx & Productivity

Build Interactive Copilot Experiences with Canvas Extensions

with James Clancey

Wednesday 23 September 2:20 PM – 2:50 PM Stage 2

About This Session

What happens when GitHub Copilot moves beyond chat and becomes a shared workspace for developers, agents, and tools? After a brief introduction to the GitHub Copilot app, this session introduces canvas extensions—interactive surfaces that help teams visualize information, collaborate on content, and act while keeping humans in control. Through demonstrations of several canvases, we’ll explore workflows such as documentation, design iteration, issue triage, and more. We’ll then build a canvas and examine the APIs and SDK used to create these experiences. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for identifying opportunities for canvas extensions and designing experiences that make Copilot more useful, actionable, and connected to the tools customers already rely on.
