Software Engineering

Steering, monitoring, and completing development workflows from mobile

Developers can monitor active AI coding sessions, send follow-up natural-language instructions, approve or deny permission requests, review implementation plans and proposed changes, and create or review pull requests from GitHub Mobile or the web while away from their desk.

Why the human is still essential here

Humans remain responsible for changing scope, approving actions, reviewing code quality, interpreting remote progress, and deciding whether and when to merge.

How people use this

Mobile scope-change instructions

A developer sends a follow-up prompt from their phone to change requirements mid-session, such as narrowing the feature or adding a missing validation rule.

Permission approval on the go

An engineer approves or denies Copilot’s requests to run higher-impact commands or edit additional files from GitHub Mobile without returning to their laptop.

Pull request completion from phone

A developer reviews the AI-generated diff, requests one more change, and then opens or approves the pull request directly from the mobile app.
