I use vim with the Copilot plugin. It's pretty astounding what it spits out. I was writing a handbook for a credit union board of directors and it was quite helpful at times.


This is a great idea. I'll have to try opening my obsidian vault with the new copilot chat.


I thought copilot only works for code. How did you use it to write a handbook?


1. Install vim Copilot plugin. 2. Name your file with .txt extension. 3. Write stuff.

Copilot is designed for code, but it can still be used for whatever you want. I found it useful when writing latex files, even for the text explanation portions as opposed to the text markup 'code'. There was a y combinator thread on this earlier.
