Generative AI has forever changed how companies do DevOps. AI DevOps will increasingly be involved in nearly every step of the DevOps cycle, from planning to monitoring. When used correctly, it can help you navigate the pitfalls of the process; including misunderstood requirements, spotting patterns in data, team collaboration, test case generation, and more.
For progressive companies, AI is already a key competitive advantage in their DevOps workflow. By 2022, 24% of respondents in the GitLab 2023 Global DevSecOps Report said AI was part of their DevOps practices. This number likely exploded in 2023 with the mainstreaming of ChatGPT.
However, ChatGPT isn’t custom made for AI in DevOps, which leads to certain limitations. This blog introduces you to the game-changing capabilities of Copilot4DevOps Plus and explores how its key features can significantly benefit your development process.

2. Differences between Copilot4DevOps and Copilot4DevOps Plus
Copilot4DevOps Plus leverages the latest in AI requirements management to streamline and enhance every aspect of this process. Both Copilot4DevOps and Copilot4DevOps Plus were designed with the following features:
- Elicit High-Quality Requirements: With just one click, Copilot4DevOps Plus helps you elicit clear, comprehensive requirements, features, bugs, diagrams, epics, and more with a single click.
- Analyze Work Item Data: You can improve the quality of your requirements writing and prioritize your requirements better. Analyze offers you multiple options, like the 6C method, INVEST model, PABLO Criteria, MoSCoW method, or the SWOT method.
- Convert: Express requirements in different formats like user story, use case, or Gherkin language. Enable better alignment between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Transform: Modify and enhance requirements by summarizing or paraphrasing them for better understanding. Elaborate them to add detail and increase requirement coverage. Improve collaboration between teams through high quality translation of requirements into more than 40 languages.
- However, Copilot4DevOps Plus is truly unique because it takes the industry leading Copilot4DevOps’ power to the next level with additional groundbreaking features:
- Impact Assessment: Evaluate the impact of specific work items on other work items or based on explanation. Identify impact details and tasks, categorized by severity.
- Q&A Assistant: Ask questions to the assistant to elicit insightful questions and detailed requirements. Enhance clarity and ensure comprehensive coverage of stakeholder needs.
- Generate: Translate requirements into algorithmic steps using Pseudocode or Test Scripts.
Create high-quality pseudocode from work items in multiple languages like Javascript, C++, or natural language.
Create high quality test scripts from work items in common scripting languages like Selenium, Python, and more. - Create Codeless App: Create custom applications without code, enabling rapid deployment and easy customization.
- Dynamic Prompt: These are a powerful way to spot patterns in large data sets.
This is an extremely powerful feature. You can engage with your projects more interactively, by pairing queries to prompts for more precise outcomes. For instance, you can ask Dynamic Prompts to spot which requirements on a car project are compliant and non-compliant with ASPICE.
- Custom Instructions: With custom instructions, you can refine your interactions with Copilot4DevOps Plus by giving it more specific instructions. These include being able to choose the GPT model, response type, response length and custom instructions.
Users can choose between GPT 4o and GPT 4o mini. We recommend the latter in most cases. GPT 4o will give you the highest quality possible output but also consumes more tokens.
By default, Copilot4DevOps Plus draws from its corpus of knowledge. But with custom instructions, you can give it specific instruction tailored to your needs.
3. Security and Reliability
AI security is non-negotiable. Security continues to be a key priority Modern Requirements. This is precisely why Copilot4DevOps and Copilot4DevOps Plus have been designed to inherit OpenAI and Azure OpenAI security protocols.
