Autopilot is a GitHub App that puts an AI teammate inside your repositories. It triages issues, validates pull requests, links related work, watches your CI, ships releases, and stores end-to-end-encrypted secrets your whole team can use without ever sharing a .env file in chat.
This guide walks through everything you need to get going:
- Install the GitHub App — connect Autopilot to your repositories.
- Dashboard — a tour of every section in the web app and what it does.
- Secrets — passkey-encrypted secret files, plus the
autopilot CLI for pulling them down.
Once installed, Autopilot reacts to events on your repositories without you needing to do anything:
- New issues are labeled, linked to your project board, and (optionally) broken into sub-issues.
- New pull requests get conventional-commit titles, change-aware labels, and links back to the issues they close.
- CI failures and dependency updates show up in one place so you don't have to chase Dependabot PRs across repos.
- Releases can be triggered from the dashboard with the right workflow inputs every time.
- Documentation stored in your repo is embedded into a vector store so the agent can cite it when working.
You can turn each of these on or off per account — see Settings for the toggles.
