GitHub Mobile: Live Notifications for Coding Agent Progress

GitHub Mobile: Live Notifications for Coding Agent Progress

GitHub Mobile now delivers real-time progress tracking for Copilot coding agent sessions through a new Live Notifications feature.

How Live Notifications Work

• iOS Live Activities: On iOS, agent session progress appears as a Live Activity on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, showing the session status, pull request title, and a direct link to review changes.
• Android Live Update Notifications: On Android, persistent notifications provide the same information with real-time status updates as the agent progresses through its work.

Session States Tracked

Live Notifications track four session states:

1. In Progress: The agent is actively working on the assigned task.
2. Completed: The agent has finished and a pull request is ready for review.
3. Failed: The agent encountered an error and could not complete the task.
4. Cancelled: The session was manually cancelled by the user.

Supported Agents and Availability

The feature supports sessions from:

• Copilot coding agent: GitHub's built-in AI coding agent.
• Claude: Anthropic's Claude model integrated as a coding agent.
• Codex: OpenAI's Codex model integrated as a coding agent.

Sessions can be initiated from github.com, GitHub Mobile, or the GitHub CLI, and all are tracked through Live Notifications.

Opt-Out

Users can disable Live Notifications through the GitHub Mobile app settings under Notifications preferences.
