[GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli/) is the default agent CLI, but it works with any [Agent Client Protocol (ACP)-compatible](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/agents) agent CLI. All you need is to install your preferred agent CLI on your PC, and Intelligent Terminal should detect it.

Read the [announcement blog post](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-intelligent-terminal-version-0-1/) for more details.
1. On first launch, choose your agent. Intelligent Terminal auto-detects several [ACP-compatible](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/agents) agent CLIs on your machine (Copilot/Claude/Codex/Gemini). If none are found, it defaults to GitHub Copilot CLI and installs it for you via WinGet.

The agent status bar sits at the bottom of the window and gives you quick access to everything agent-related. On the left: the agent pane toggle and the error detection icon, which lights up when a fixable error is detected. On the right: the agent management icon that opens your session management panel. It's a persistent, minimal control surface so you're never more than one click away from your agents.

A context-aware, docked pane with your agent CLI of choice. The pane has context on your shell output across all your shells. Toggle with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+.</kbd>, switch focus with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+I</kbd>. If the agent needs to do multiple or complex tasks, it spins up background tasks in new tabs so your active shell stays focused.
