Upcoming Feature: Introducing AutoPilot Workspace for Autonomous Coding
We are excited to share a sneak peek of our upcoming flagship feature: the AutoPilot Workspace.
Designed for developers who want an autonomous local helper, AutoPilot will let you delegate multi-file coding projects, directory analysis, and bug fixing directly to a local agent running on your computer.

How AutoPilot Works
Traditional AI assistants simply output code blocks that you have to copy and paste manually. AutoPilot takes this a step further by executing plans autonomously:
1. User Goal: You input a high-level task (e.g., "Build a sitemap generator and hook it to the postbuild script").
2. Research & Planning: The agent inspects your workspace directory and writes a structured implementation plan.
3. Execution Loop: Once you approve the plan, the agent reads files, edits specific code lines using atomic patches, and creates new files.
4. Local Verification: The agent compiles and tests the changes, reviewing any lint errors before declaring the goal accomplished.

🔒 Key Design Pillars: Absolute Safety
To ensure your local files remain safe, AutoPilot is built with security first:
- Sandbox Context: The agent only reads and writes files within the specific mounted directory.
- Permission Prompts: High-risk actions (like executing build commands or installing npm packages) require your explicit approval.
- Privacy-First: AutoPilot connects strictly to your local LLMs (via Ollama or LM Studio), ensuring your workspace data is never uploaded to the cloud.
*Stay tuned! AutoPilot Workspace will be rolling out in the next major release.*
