What AI models does the agent use?

The agent has access to Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and other top models. It automatically routes to the best model for each task — you never have to think about API keys or token limits.

Yes. Each agent runs in an isolated environment. We don't train on your data, and you can export or delete everything at any time. The underlying engine (GoGogot) is open-source, so you can audit exactly how it works.

What can the agent actually do?

Browse the web, process files (CSV, PDF, images), run scheduled tasks, remember context across sessions, and communicate via Telegram or Slack. Think of it as a capable junior employee, not a chatbot.

How does memory work?

The agent maintains persistent memory across sessions. It remembers your preferences, past conversations, and task context. You can also explicitly tell it to remember or forget things.

Can I self-host the agent?

Absolutely. GoGogot is 100% open-source. Run it on your own hardware for free. cowork.ink is the managed version — we handle servers, model costs, updates, and uptime so you don't have to.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. Spin up an agent, give it real tasks, and if it doesn't save you time, we'll refund you — no questions asked.

What is the difference between Copilot coding agent and agent mode?

Agent mode runs inside your IDE and works interactively like pair programming. Copilot coding agent runs asynchronously on GitHub Actions — you assign it a task, walk away, and come back to a ready pull request. Think of agent mode as a co-driver and coding agent as a teammate working on their own ticket.

Is GitHub Copilot coding agent free?

Not entirely. The coding agent is available on all paid Copilot plans — Pro ($10/month), Pro+ ($39/month), Business, and Enterprise. Verified students get free access through Copilot Student. Each coding agent session uses one premium request from your plan's allowance.

How do I assign an issue to Copilot coding agent?

Open any GitHub issue and set the assignee to "Copilot." The agent picks up the issue, creates a branch prefixed with copilot/, works through the task, and opens a pull request. You can also trigger it from VS Code, the GitHub Agents panel, or by commenting @copilot on an existing PR.

What tasks is Copilot coding agent best for?

It excels at low-to-medium complexity tasks in well-tested codebases — adding features, fixing bugs, writing tests, refactoring, and improving documentation. Avoid assigning open-ended architecture decisions or tasks that require deep product context.

Can Copilot coding agent run tests automatically?

Yes. The agent has access to an ephemeral development environment powered by GitHub Actions where it can run your test suite, linters, and other checks. It iterates on failures until tests pass before opening a pull request.
