> Starting from version v0.50.0, we have added internal support for the upcoming usage-based billing experience, including experience updates to the usage panel, usage notifications, and model picker. These changes will become visible once usage-based billing is rolled out.

## Agent Mode

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode provides AI-powered assistance that can understand and modify your codebase directly. With Agent Mode, you can:
- Get intelligent code edits applied directly to your files
- Run terminal commands and view their output without leaving the interface
- Search through your codebase to find relevant files and code snippets
- Create new files and directories as needed for your project
- Get assistance with enhanced context awareness across multiple files and folders
- Run Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools you configured to extend the capabilities

Agent Mode integrates with Xcode's environment, creating a seamless development experience where Copilot can help implement features, fix bugs, and refactor code with comprehensive understanding of your project.

## Code Completion

You can receive auto-complete type suggestions from GitHub Copilot either by starting to write the code you want to use, or by writing a natural language comment describing what you want the code to do.
