Agentic AI is everywhere right now! This week, The Associated Press highlighted why it’s gaining mainstream attention, citing MITs and BCG’s definition of agents as systems that can “plan, act, and learn on their own.” Searches for agentic have surged, and leaders are working hard to distinguish signal from noise. At GitHub Universe, the momentum was unmistakable — including Lantern’s “The Future Is Agentic” shirts, which captured exactly where modern software development is headed. But beyond the buzz, one question matters most for enterprise teams: What does agentic AI actually mean for developers, leaders, and the future of software delivery? We’re breaking that down in our next AI Momentum session: The Enterprise Impact of GitHub Copilot 📅 December 9, 2025 ⏰ 1:00 – 2:00 PM EST Join Jeremy Bierlein and Esteban Garcia as they unpack how organizations are moving from early GitHub Copilot wins to measurable transformation — spanning productivity gains, developer experience, AI-driven development patterns, and emerging agentic workflows. If you’re exploring how agentic AI will reshape your engineering teams, this session is for you.

Celebrating great work from inside the Lantern team! A shoutout from Laura Nathanson to Thomas Yacono for exemplifying a Lantern core value: Trust is Our Foundation. "Thomas approached recent challenges with a client with care, transparency, and collaboration by partnering with Samantha Preston and myself to ensure customers felt supported and informed. His proactive communication and thoughtful planning helped maintain strong, trusted relationships." Thank you, Thomas for demonstrating what it means to lead with integrity and trust.

Early success with GitHub Copilot can create momentum, but enterprise leaders are ultimately measured on whether that success scales. In our next AI Momentum session, Principal Technology Strategist Jeremy Bierlein and Head of GitHub AI Solutions Esteban Garcia will explore what sustained impact looks like when Copilot becomes part of the enterprise development environment, not just a pilot program. You’ll gain a clear view into how leading organizations are improving productivity, developer experience, and ROI with Copilot at scale—and what it takes to align business strategy with modern engineering practices. You’ll learn how to: 🔹 Move from early Copilot adoption to enterprise-wide transformation using real-world metrics 🔹 Align strategic priorities with developer execution through GitHub’s agentic development frameworks 🔹 Address common blockers to scaling Copilot, including change management, developer engagement, and security considerations AI Momentum: The Enterprise Impact of GitHub Copilot 🗓️ Tuesday, December 9 🕐 1:00–2:00 PM EST 👉 Register here: https://loom.ly/-cQtr6o

Agentic development puts AI agents to work alongside developers to deliver complete tasks autonomously. In our latest blog, Esteban Garcia, Head of GitHub AI Solutions, unpacks the five traits that define true agentic capability: 1️⃣ Autonomy – agents execute tasks from start to finish. 2️⃣ Context awareness – agents understand your entire codebase and standards. 3️⃣ Multi‑step reasoning – agents decompose requirements and act. 4️⃣ Tool use – agents test, deploy, monitor. 5️⃣ Collaboration – agents coordinate across roles and functions. Teams practicing agentic‑first workflows are already achieving 3–5× productivity jumps while others debate the next step.
