GitHub 11 2 posted a summary of Copilot releases from Universe (10 28) on X, with each item sourced from the original GitHub changelog: Copilot Cloud Experience is now generally available—start cloud tasks from github.com, GitHub Mobile, Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, VS Code, or Slack / Teams, and continue them from another location within the same session; by default, tasks run in GitHub-hosted cloud sandboxes, which save snapshots when shut down and can be resumed. Copilot Projects (public preview) consolidates work across multiple repositories, design drafts, and Slack discussions into a single project, with Copilot launching multiple agents in the background as needed and returning pull requests; the Copilot app also adds computer use (public preview on macOS / Windows), image generation and editing within conversations, and security extensions. Copilot Memory is now generally available, and Dreaming (public preview, requires manual enablement) reviews past sessions, adds or removes personal and repository memories, and proposes changes to skill and instruction files via pull requests.
Confidence: High (80) · Event time 2026-10-28
Reasoning
- The change directly relevant to paid Copilot users is billing: cloud sandboxes began charging in 11 of 2026, deducted from the Actions compute credits included in plans—these credits have been converted into a unified pool denominated in US dollars, shared across builds, sandboxes, and (for Team / Enterprise Cloud) large hosted runners; heavy users will exhaust them more quickly.
- Following up on yesterday's coverage of Copilot Fusion: GitHub has explicitly stated that the 30% discount lasts until 30 of 11. Additionally, GitHub Enterprise can now include Copilot for each licensed user via the sales team, with AI usage metered against enterprise budgets from the first request onward and no longer including per-seat monthly allowances; self-service subscriptions are being rolled out in phases.
Usage
- After updating the Copilot App / CLI / VS Code, you can initiate cloud sessions from any entry point; @GitHub in Slack or Teams allows creating issues and requesting code changes. Projects are enabled within the Copilot App; computer use is turned on via Settings > Computer Use (macOS requires accessibility and screen recording permissions); Dreaming is enabled by individual users in Copilot settings and per-repository settings, while organizations enable it via admin policies. For specific quota details, refer to the GitHub documentation section "Product usage included in each plan."
Risks
- The features are at different stages of availability, with some in general availability and others in public preview; availability and management policies vary between Team and Enterprise editions. Running Dreaming consumes AI credits, but the specific costs listed in the documentation have not been verified by the editors.
- The changelog does not specify the credit deduction rates for sandboxes, stating only that each product continues to use its own published rates.
- Released on 10 28, this issue was compiled from a summary post dated 11 2; Copilot Fusion was already covered in the issue dated 11 2, so it is not repeated here.
