> 💡 **Note**: Copilot CLI also has an **Autopilot** mode where it works through tasks without waiting for your input. It's powerful but requires granting full permissions and uses premium requests autonomously. This course focuses on the three modes below. We'll point you to Autopilot once you're comfortable with the basics.

> 📚 **Autopilot mode**: You may have noticed Shift+Tab cycles through a third mode called **Autopilot**. In autopilot mode, Copilot works through an entire plan without waiting for your input after each step — like handing a task to a colleague and saying "let me know when you're finished." The typical workflow is plan → accept → autopilot, which means you need to be good at writing plans first. Get comfortable with Interactive and Plan modes, then see the [official docs](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/agents/copilot-cli/autopilot) when you're ready.
