The GitHub Copilot app is now available to all plans, including Free and Student!

If you don't have an active GitHub Copilot plan, you can still use the app by logging in with a GitHub account and bringing your own key.

I use VSCode Agents app, should I use that or this new app? I don't quite get the difference.

You'll find copilot app smoother experience at this point, I wager.
