GitHub unites OpenAI, Google and Anthropic AI agents in one place to bring 'order to the chaos'

Signage at the Microsoft campus in Mountain View, California, US, on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025. Microsoft's GitHub unit on Tuesday announced Agent HQ, a new "mission control" interface that will allow software developers to manage coding agents from multiple vendors on a single platform. An artificial intelligence agent is a tool that can independently complete tasks on behalf of a user. Several companies, including GitHub, have built and released popular agents that are specifically designed for programming. Developers have a range of new capabilities at their fingertips because of these agents, but it can require a lot of effort to keep track of them all individually, said GitHub COO Kyle Daigle. Developers will now be able to manage agents from GitHub, OpenAI, Google , Anthropic, xAI and Cognition in one place with Agent HQ. "We want to bring a little bit of order to the chaos of innovation," Daigle told CNBC in an interview. "With so many different agents, there's so many different ways of kicking off these asynchronous tasks, and so our big opportunity here is to bring this all together."
