Copilot

Also known as: copilots, ai copilot

In one line

An AI that works alongside a human inside their existing tool — suggesting rather than replacing.

What does Copilot mean?

Copilots (GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Cursor) live inside the app you already use. They differ from agents because a human is always in the loop, approving each step.

A real-world example

GitHub Copilot suggesting the next line of code as you type.
