What if the secret to building better AI agents isn't a bigger model, but a better harness?

In this episode of New Breakpoint, Graeme Foster explores the GitHub Copilot SDK and the emerging "agent harness" pattern that's powering a new generation of AI experiences.

Discover how planning, tool use, code execution and reasoning come together to help agents solve real-world problems and learn how these capabilities can be extended beyond the IDE into hosted, governed and enterprise-ready solutions.

Key takeaways:
Understand the agent harness pattern and why modern AI systems are about more than just models, combining tools, planning, execution and orchestration to achieve complex goals.

Explore the GitHub Copilot SDK in action, including how agents can analyse data, execute code, interact with files and leverage external tools to complete end-to-end workflows.

Learn how to take agents into production with hosted experiences, identity, governance and integration with Foundry, enabling scalable and enterprise-ready AI solutions.
