@ariasllaguno1 Thanks for reporting this issue!
Can you go to https://github.com/settings/copilot/features and check that Copilot coding agent is enabled for your GitHub account? At the moment, we don't have a way to do a "pre-flight" check for this, so we only find out if there's a problem when trying to create a task.
I'm going to add better error handling for this, and we'll add a pre-flight check as soon as possible.
