Talks

Title: GitHub Agentic Workflows: Automating recurring work with agents — Eddie Aftandilian

Abstract: A lot of work around software projects is repetitive, but still important: triaging issues, digging into CI failures, updating docs, keeping tests in good shape, and handling procedural tasks that come up again and again. This talk is about a new way to automate that kind of ongoing work using agents.

With GitHub Agentic Workflows, you define recurring tasks in markdown and run them in GitHub Actions. They can work across repositories and use information beyond the repo itself, which makes them useful for more than just code changes.

I’ll show what this looks like in practice, build a workflow live, and demo a few examples of the kinds of tasks it can take on.

Bio: Eddie Aftandilian is a Principal Researcher at GitHub Next, GitHub’s R&D group that explores and prototypes longer-horizon developer experiences. He is one of the creators of GitHub Copilot and previously worked on Copilot Workspace, an early agentic development tool. He now works on Agentic Workflows, building continuous agents that run on GitHub Actions to help teams automate development and maintenance tasks across their repositories.
