I like this idea but I gotta say when I think "autopilot" I think "does it for you" and imagine ceding control rather than retaining it. I definitely assumed after reading the name that it was going to be a tool to minimize developer involvement as much as possible, similar to how AutoGPT is supposed to require less supervision.

I agree with this; a copilot steps in to assist you, while an autopilot assumes your duties entirely.

I'm very interested to hear this. We are definitely looking to evoke the former.
