I would like to try enabling the GitHub CoPilot for the ArduPilot organisation and all its repos. It costs 19 USD / month. The features are listed here but I’m most interested in testing automated code reviews. These can be manually requested by a developer by selecting “CoPilot” from the list of possible reviewers (see details here) but if it works well we can enable it for all pull requests automatically
Their site says this feature has a waitlist and that it does not work on C or C++ code.
OK, let’s wait until they’ve got C++ support then
If it doesn’t handle C++, I wonder how well it handles less structured/rigid languages 
My experience with LLM based tools and coding is fairly positive, but CoPilot is the worst of the bunch by a significant margin. In general, AI tools seem quite well suited to web development, but they tend to struggle with more technical/niche projects (like ArduPilot).
I’ve been using Cursor AI (VS Code fork) with a lot of success. I’m not sure though if GitHub based auto-reviews using CoPilot would be as useful, even if the language options expand.
Unlikely, you would need aerospace engineering AI that happens to understand programming, not codding AI that happens to know a bit about web dev .
