I am guessing it can be used as an agent through a plugin in your IDE: to find bugs/fix code, to suggest changes/improvements, to insert snippets. Is it more than that?

Within Microsoft, a lot of use use Github Copilot (In Visual Studio or VS Code). AFAIK, we aren't permitted to use other AI platforms with company code. There are also automated reviews of our Pull Requests, both for security stuff as well as coding best practices. Some of the suggested are bogus, but for the most part it catches common mistakes or suggests better approaches to small things.
