Copilot

The intent-driven command layer of the editor. Cmd+K, type what you want, get the right action or a hand-off to the right surface.

Opening Copilot

Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (everywhere else). The palette opens with a prompt input and a list of recently used commands. Type a phrase; results filter live.

The same shortcut works on any editor surface. You do not need to be in the chat panel to invoke Copilot.

Intents

Your phrase is classified into one of the platform's intents (DEFAULT_INTENTS in the copilot service). High-confidence matches run immediately; ambiguous ones surface a small picker so you can confirm.

Classification runs through the same fallback chain as the rest of the AI stack, so a transient model error falls back instead of failing the command.

Composable Actions

For multi-step intents, Copilot uses a small planner that builds a sequence of allowed actions (open panel, set theme token, insert section, etc.). The allowed action set is fixed for safety so a planner glitch cannot do anything destructive.

Tips

For free-form edits ("make the header sticky and add a cart icon"), let Copilot hand off to chat; chat is built for that.
For navigation ("open deploy", "show version history") Copilot is faster than clicking.
See the GenMB Code doc for tool-based AI editing inside Cursor / VS Code.

FAQs

What is Copilot?▾

The intent-driven command layer of the editor. You type or say what you want ("add a hero", "rename this", "open deploy"); Copilot classifies the intent and either runs a composable action immediately or hands off to the right surface (chat, design view, deploy panel).

How is this different from the chat panel?▾

Chat is open-ended: you describe what to change and the AI rewrites code. Copilot is intent-classified: short commands that map to predefined actions or to a hand-off. Both are useful; reach for Copilot when you know what action you want, reach for chat when you want the AI to figure it out.

How do I open it?▾

Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (others) opens the command palette anywhere in the editor. The same intents power voice commands when voice is enabled.

Can I add custom intents?▾

The intent list (DEFAULT_INTENTS) is platform-managed. Custom user-defined intents are not exposed today. If you want a custom action to be reachable from Cmd+K, file a request describing the action and its trigger phrase.
