Copilot

The command bar of the editor. Press Cmd+K, type what you want, and get the action done or a jump to the right panel.

Opening Copilot

Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (everywhere else). The palette opens with a prompt input and a list of recently used commands. Type a phrase; results filter live.

The same shortcut works on any editor surface. You do not need to be in the chat panel to invoke Copilot.

Things You Can Say

You do not need exact wording. Say what you want in plain language and Copilot takes you there or does it for you. A few examples:

  • "Deploy my app" - ships the current version to production.
  • "Open the deploy panel" or "show version history" - jumps to the right panel.
  • "Show my credits" or "what's my billing status?" - opens usage and subscription details.
  • "Find a payments plugin" - searches the plugin marketplace.
  • "Run a security scan" or "fix the errors" - kicks off a scan or the healer.
For an open-ended change like "make the header sticky and add a cart icon", Copilot hands off to chat, which is built for free-form edits.

How It Understands You

When your phrase clearly matches one action, Copilot runs it right away. When it could mean a couple of things, it shows a small picker so you can confirm.

If the AI is briefly unavailable, Copilot falls back gracefully instead of failing the command.

Multi-Step Commands

When a request takes more than one step, Copilot lines up the actions for you (open a panel, adjust a theme color, insert a section, and so on). The set of actions it is allowed to take is fixed for safety, so a misread can never do anything destructive to your app.

Tips

  • For free-form edits ("make the header sticky and add a cart icon"), let Copilot hand off to chat; chat is built for that.
  • For navigation ("open deploy", "show version history") Copilot is faster than clicking.
  • See the GenMB Code doc for tool-based AI editing inside Cursor / VS Code.

Limits

  • 1 credit each time Copilot interprets a command.
  • Phrase limit: 2,000 characters.
  • Available on all plans, including Free.

FAQs

What is Copilot?
The command bar of the editor. You type or say what you want ("deploy my app", "show version history", "open deploy") and Copilot either does it for you or takes you straight to the right place (chat, design view, deploy panel).
How is this different from the chat panel?
Chat is open-ended: you describe what to change and the AI rewrites your app. Copilot is for short commands that map to a specific action or take you to the right panel. Reach for Copilot when you know the action you want; reach for chat when you want the AI to figure it out.
How do I open it?
Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (others) opens the command palette anywhere in the editor. The same commands work by voice when voice is enabled.
Can I add my own commands?
The set of commands Copilot understands is managed by GenMB today; you cannot define your own. If there is an action you want reachable from Cmd+K, file a request describing what you want to say and what it should do.
