Autopilot Mode with Justin Chen
March 16th, 2026 | 26 mins 30 secs
Justin and James deep-dive into Autopilot and the evolving VS Code chat UX—why shimmers and collapsed containers declutter conversations, and why the input bar split and new permissions picker matter. Learn how Autopilot (Insiders preview) can auto-approve tools, answer prompts, iterate until a task_complete signal or max retries, and when to use default vs bypass approvals; practical tips for safe, hands-off workflows and feedback.
