Put an Agent Inside Your App in 10 Minutes or Less with the GitHub Copilot SDK
summary
Shows how to embed a working Copilot agent in an app in about 10 minutes by code: start a CopilotClient, call StartAsync, create a session, then SendAndWait or stream deltas. SDK accepts OpenAI/Anthropic keys or local models, supports tool calls via custom C# tool attributes, and permission handlers. Live demos build a fake GetWeather tool (returns 100°F), a Telegram bot that reads GitHub repos and a notes file, a recipe fetcher using ffmpeg+Whisper, and a mind‑map using forked sessions — all working end to end.
