Copilot CLI Remote Control Now in Public Preview

TL;DR

• Copilot CLI now supports remote sessions — monitor and steer CLI work from web or mobile
• Real-time sync between CLI and GitHub; all features work remotely (steering, approvals, mode switching)
• Requires `/update` to latest version; Business/Enterprise users need admin enablement

New

• Remote CLI sessions — Run copilot --remote to stream your CLI session to GitHub web or mobile; share a link or QR code to monitor and control from another device.
• Mid-session steering — Send follow-up commands, review and modify plans, switch modes (plan/interactive/autopilot), and approve permission requests directly from the web or mobile interface.
• Cross-device sync — Actions taken in the CLI or on GitHub sync in real time; each session is private to the user who started it.
• Mobile support — Beta available on Google Play and iOS TestFlight.

Getting Started

• Run /update to get the latest Copilot CLI version.
• Start a remote session with copilot --remote or enable it mid-session with /remote.
• Use /keep-alive for longer tasks to prevent your machine from sleeping.
• Copilot Business and Enterprise users: your administrator must enable remote control and CLI policies first.

Update: Run /update in Copilot CLI to enable remote sessions.
