A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
Automatic documentation for code, on every save
Autopilot documents entire codebases every time you hit save, so documentation keeps pace with your code.
Pass in code and receive an explanation in plain English, customizable to your needs through a public API.
Enrich generated explanations with Stack Overflow suggestions and documentation from across the web so you do not have to search manually.
Integrations for editors and wherever code can be found, including the VSC extension.
