Co-pilot as in github copilot, available in IntelliJ? Because I find that to be pretty fantastic.


They have an additional suite of products piggy backing off of GitHub co-pilot's success sharing the "Copilot" branding.


Yeah it's such a confusing jumble. The Microsoft people we work with even get confused about which feature is in which copilot. And they keep changing stuff around. Until last week the copilot button in windows 11 worked fine with business M365 accounts but now you get a screen saying you must have a personal account.

They're so hell bent on rushing this to market that they don't know what they're doing anymore.


Like that time Sun added "Java" to the name of all of their products, despite the fact most had nothing to do with Java.


What OpenAI might call a gpt, or others a chatbot, Microsoft calls a copilot.

And all their copilot offerings are named copilot, and sometimes you are lucky enough that there’s a second word in the product name to differentiate it from the other products.


Copilot as in Microsoft Copilot
