AI Agents in Software Development: How to Work Successfully with Copilot

How can AI agents like GitHub Copilot be meaningfully integrated into everyday development work without losing sight of code quality? Using his personal workflow as an example, Robin Mader demonstrates how to delegate tasks to agents in a targeted manner, systematically review results, and combine human expertise with AI support. A practical look at how humans and AI collaborate in modern software development.
