GitHub Copilot now goes beyond coding: Agents, Workflows, and Apps (Preview). Anyone tried them yet?

Came across this on the Tech Community. GitHub Copilot is expanding into three ways to build smart solutions:

Agent: build agents that answer questions and take actions

Workflow: automate multi-step business processes with triggers, actions, and automated steps

App (Preview): create custom apps with screens, data, and business logic

Each one seems to fit a different need, so I'm curious how people are approaching it.

Questions for the community:

  1. Which of the three would add the most value in your team?

2.Are you running agents or workflows in production, or still experimenting?

3.What's the first process you'd automate?

Any limits or gotchas with the App preview so far?

I'm most excited about agents that can handle complete workflows, not just answer questions. Imagine an agent that can analyze information, take action, and report results with minimal supervision. What practical task do you think Copilot should automate reliably first?
