Autopilot in Immediate panel

Hi Team,

It would be a great addition to have autopilot feature to test and check the data in immediate panel. this helps a lot in debugging complex cases and large data present in datatable or dictionaries or other complex types. A generate option to generate required expression with the variables and values in locals panel would help understand..also an analyzer which can help in accessing the infor elated to error when in debug. All these are partly present only via advanced editors while in design mode but here it would help in testing with current data as well..and modify the code

Cheers

Hey @Anil_G - thanks for the thoughtful post!
I really like the direction you’re pointing us in, and it actually lines up with some Autopilot work we already have in motion. Here’s how I’m unpacking your suggestions:

AI Data Inspector (Immediate panel)
ā€œLet me talk to my runtime data.ā€

  • What it would do
    • Summarize big DataTables/Dictionaries on the spot (row count, sample rows, distinct values).
    • Accept plain‑language prompts like ā€œfilter rows where Status = Errorā€ and auto‑generate the LINQ/VB expression.
    • Re‑run those queries as you step through breakpoints so you can see values change.

AI Error Inspector
ā€œExplain what blew up and how to fix it.ā€

  • When an exception stops the debugger, it would:
    • Read the error + the variables in scope.
    • Give a plain‑English root‑cause analysis.
    • Offer code suggestions or ready‑made expressions to apply as a fix.

I’m going to log them as separate items so we can size and prioritize them properly.

Really appreciate the insight - keep it coming! If you’ve got concrete examples (data sizes, tricky expressions, error types) feel free to share; that context helps us tune the AI recipes.

Cheers,
