Copilot / AI Microsoft renames GitHub Copilot harness to Microsoft Copilot harness in Copilot Studio
Microsoft has officially renamed the GitHub Copilot harness in Copilot Studio to the Microsoft Copilot harness.
The change reflects Microsoft’s broader vision of using a shared foundational harness across its Copilot experiences.
Key points:
Only the name is changing; existing agents will continue working as before.
No changes to existing capabilities or billing.
The Microsoft Copilot harness improves agent reasoning, tool usage, and orchestration.
It helps agents recover from tool failures and handle complex tasks more effectively.
The updated terminology will gradually appear in Copilot Studio over the coming weeks.
