Visual Studio Code releases version 1.137 with new AI agent features

Visual Studio Code has released version 1.137, which introduces several new features focused on AI agent capabilities and automation.

Key updates include a preview of automations that allow users to schedule recurring agent tasks on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. The update also features an experimental voice mode, enabling users to interact with agents through speech.

Workflow improvements include the ability to attach GitHub issues and pull requests directly to chat contexts and the introduction of agent message queuing to prevent lost requests during busy sessions. Additionally, users can now continue quick chats within a workspace, preserving conversation history and current requests when attaching a project. The release also includes a documentary detailing the evolution of the editor and its community.
