About this tag
The cloud agent tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about cloud-based agents, particularly GitHub Copilot's integration with Microsoft Teams. Recent content highlights how a shared cloud-agent session can investigate problems, write code, and open pull requests, but does not directly deploy to production.
