## Definition

**`GitHub Actions`** is GitHub's workflow-automation platform; in the captured material it is the infrastructure **on which GitHub built the Copilot coding agent** [^b1e2ad1f-fe0d-597d-aba3-cd808b648c65@0].

In the captured material, **`GitHub Actions`** appears as the foundation for GitHub's autonomous coding work. The conversation explains that GitHub built the **Copilot coding agent on top of GitHub Actions** [^b1e2ad1f-fe0d-597d-aba3-cd808b648c65@0], positioning it as the infrastructure layer that turned Copilot from autocomplete into an autonomous agent. GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke discusses this architectural bet — why an agent workload runs on Actions rather than a bespoke system — as part of a broader look at competition, model choice, and the future of software development [^b1e2ad1f-fe0d-597d-aba3-cd808b648c65@0].}
