Max turns Copilot into always-on Telegram agent

The big idea here is less “new model” and more “new interface”: Max repackages Copilot into a persistent, phone-accessible agent you can delegate work to asynchronously.

• –Max runs continuously on your machine and spins up worker sessions, which makes it feel closer to a personal ops bot than a chat tab.
• –Telegram as the control surface is a smart UX choice for quick task dispatch, status checks, and follow-ups when you’re away from your desk.
• –The skills-based extension approach expands beyond coding into adjacent automations, but trust boundaries and guardrails become critical fast.
• –Reusing an existing Copilot subscription lowers adoption friction for developers already in the GitHub ecosystem.
