The article discusses using asynchronous coding agents like Claude Code and Codex for code research tasks. It emphasizes the benefits of setting clear goals, allowing these agents to experiment in dedicated GitHub repositories, and accessing the web freely for results. The author shares examples of research projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Claude and Codex, the new coding agents from Anthropic and OpenAI, are available for Copilot Pro+ and Enterprise users. You can create agent sessions and assign tasks through GitHub, GitHub Mobile, and VS Code without any extra subscription fees. Each session counts as one premium request during the public preview.

GitHub introduced Agent HQ, integrating various coding agents directly into its platform. This move allows developers to manage and orchestrate tasks across multiple agents seamlessly, enhancing their workflow through a unified command center and new integrations.
