## AI Copilot
AI Copilot is a powerful, AI-powered assistant fully integrated into your dex workspace. It's designed to accelerate every step of the analytics development life cycle (ADLC)—from writing code to debugging models—so you can deliver high-quality data products faster and more efficiently.
Copilot brings intelligent, context-aware assistance directly into your development environment, helping you write better SQL, troubleshoot issues, and automate repetitive tasks—all with natural language.
### What You Can Do with Copilot
AI Copilot is built to boost productivity for data practitioners at every stage. With just a few prompts, you can:
* **Generate models from scratch** using natural language (e.g. “Create a model that joins customers with their last order”)
* **Edit and refactor existing code** without writing SQL by hand
* **Fix broken models** by describing the issue or pasting in an error
* **Accelerate transformations** by asking for column logic, join strategies, or filter conditions
* **Enhance documentation** with AI-suggested table and column descriptions
It’s like having a senior analytics engineer embedded directly into your modeling flow.
### Where It Lives
Copilot is accessible directly from the dex code editor. Simply click the ✨ **wand icon** at the top of the model editor to start interacting.
You can:
* Highlight code to edit or fix it
* Use freeform prompts to generate new logic
* Ask questions about structure or transformation ideas
### Data Privacy & Usage
Your privacy and data security are top priorities. Here’s how Copilot handles data:
Does Copilot store or use personal data?
No. Copilot does not require or store personal data. You control what information you enter, and Copilot operates without accessing sensitive personal inputs unless explicitly provided by you.
Does Copilot access my warehouse data?
No. Copilot does **not** access or query your row-level data. To provide AI assistance, it may utilize:
* Column names
* Model-level SQL
* Model names
* Inline model documentation
* Prompts entered by the user
Row-level data (e.g. actual values stored in tables) is never accessed or transmitted unless explicitly entered by the user into the Copilot interface.

Always double-check Copilot-generated code before deploying to production. Like all AI assistants, Copilot may produce incorrect or incomplete results.
{% endhint %}
### Best Practices
* Use natural language prompts to get started (e.g., “Filter to the last 30 days of orders”)
* Use Copilot as a pair programmer—not a replacement for human review
* Avoid entering sensitive credentials, tokens, or row-level data in prompts
* Pair Copilot with version control to easily track and validate AI-generated edit

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.dexlabs.io/lakehouse-platform/develop-with-dex/ai-copilot.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
