Source checkedSoftware development frameworksNot specified

Microsoft's .NET team assigned simpler refactoring tasks to Copilot in dotnet/android. Over 28 days, 82.4% of 17 agent pull requests were merged. Harder dotnet/maui tasks had a much lower merge rate, showing the importance of task selection.
