We Only Had Copilot. We Built Real AI Automation Anyway.
Mikalai
Everyone thinks GitHub Copilot means "AI chat in your IDE" - nice to have, not a real automation engine. We thought so too, until we had to build real automation with Copilot as our only tool. Turns out Copilot has a coding agent, agentic workflows, and Spaces - features most teams never touch. In 5 minutes: how we went from "just chat" to auto-assigning Jira tickets to Copilot and getting real automation out of it - and why you're probably underusing the tool you already pay for.
