Studio user guide
Generating code
Autopilot™ allows you to autogenerate code anywhere within your coded automation. The generated code can originate from a comment or any custom prompt that you write.
To use this feature, you can select the Autopilot icon 
on a blank code line and then enter your prompt into the Ask Autopilot to generate code field. Also, to generate code from comments, you can right-select a comment, then select Generate Code.
To generate code with Autopilot you can only use Orchestrator deployed in Automation CloudTM.
Generating code from a comment
You can generate code directly within your coded automation using comments. For example, consider a comment that outlines the steps of an automation such as "Open Google and click the search icon.". If you select this comment, right-click, and then select Generate Code, then Autopilot starts generating a response code for it. Additionally, you can generate code from a comment by prefixing your comment with the word Generate (for example: // Generate: Open Google and click the search icon).
After Autopilot generates the code, you can choose to Confirm the code or Discard it.
When you generate code from a prompt and then select Confirm, the newly generated code will be highlighted. However, if you choose Discard, the generated code will be removed along with the prompt. If you edit the generated code after confirming it for the first time, and then select Discard, it will only remove the prompt, not the modified generated code.
Generating code using a prompt
You can generate code using a prompt that you engineer. For example, navigate to a blank code line and select the Autopilot icon , or right-click in the code editor and select Generate Code. Additionally, you can also use the Ctrl + I shortcut. Enter your prompt in the Ask Autopilot to generate code field then select Generate.

Implementing methods, classes, and interfaces
Generating code in Studio also involves creating implementations for methods, classes, or interfaces in your automations. For example, say you have a method, class, or interface with comments and an XML summary, but no actual code.
In this context, the Implement method, Implement class, Implement interface, or Implement local function text will appear above the method name. When you click on Implement method or any of the other variations, the system generates the requisite code for the method. Please note, this operation might result in the creation of additional methods or classes.
For this generative AI scenario, the prompt pulls from the subject name, method description (in the form of a comment above it), and comments within the method.
