Aruna Santosh, Shruthi Javare Gowda, Kaveri Chappidi, and Vivek V Palankar from PwC demonstrate Copado Pilot, an AI-powered headless DevOps solution integrated directly into VS Code. The team details how the tool addresses developer context switching by providing a unified command center for CI/CD, robotic testing, and release management without leaving the IDE. The session highlights specific features including a real-time developer dashboard, AI-driven pipeline coverage analysis to catch excluded metadata, and natural language orchestration for triggering deployments. The speakers also explain their use of Copado REST APIs and Git branch comparison to proactively identify risks in back-promotion and environment synchronization.
