The Copilot Era is Over
AI pair programming taught us machines could suggest the next line. But a copilot can't fly the mission for you—it can't refactor a module, achieve 100% test coverage, or migrate a database. You're still the one flying the plane, trading your finite hours for infinite tasks.
It's time to step out of the cockpit and into the Command Deck.
Welcome to the age of the Autopilot. With Hatcher, you don't fly anymore. You command.
A Playbook for Every Mission
Your hangar isn't limited to one Autopilot. You command an entire fleet, each specialized for specific missions.
The Coverage Autopilot
Ensures 100% test coverage while you sleep
Analyzes your code paths, identifies edge cases, generates comprehensive test suites. It doesn't just test the happy path—it tests the dark corners where bugs hide.
Commander's Time: 2 minutes (to define the Playbook) Autopilot Runtime: 6 hours (overnight) Result: 100% test coverage upon your return
The Refactor Autopilot
Modernizes legacy code following your exact patterns
Takes your architectural decisions and applies them systematically across entire codebases. No more "we'll refactor it later." Later is now, and it's automated.
Mission Scope: 50,000 lines Patterns Applied: 12 Breaking Changes: 0
The Migration Autopilot
Executes complex migrations with zero downtime
Database schemas, API versions, framework upgrades. It handles the complexity while maintaining backward compatibility and data integrity.
Tables Migrated: 47 Data Preserved: 100% Rollback Ready: Always
The Documentation Autopilot
Generates exhaustive documentation for your entire API
Not just comments. Full documentation suites with examples, edge cases, error responses, and interactive playgrounds. Documentation that developers actually want to read.
Endpoints Documented: 156 Examples Generated: 500+ OpenAPI Compliant: Yes
The Security Autopilot
Audits and patches vulnerabilities before they matter
Continuous security analysis, dependency updates, penetration testing patterns. It thinks like an attacker so you don't have to.
Vulnerabilities Found: 23 Auto-Patched: 19 False Positives: 0
Autonomy Without Chaos. Power Under Constitution.
The fear is valid: "What if the Autopilot goes rogue?"
This is why every Hatcher Autopilot operates under Constitutional AI—a governance framework that ensures autonomy never becomes anarchy.
The Three Laws of Autopilot
Playbook Supremacy: An Autopilot must follow its Playbook exactly, and may not deviate from defined patterns and constraints.
Quality Gates: An Autopilot must pass all Hatcher Actions (tests, linting, type checking) before completing its mission.
Time Graph Immutability: Every decision, every change, every execution is recorded in the immutable Time Graph for complete auditability.
Your Safety Mechanisms
- Preview Mode: See exactly what will change before it happens
- Incremental Execution: Run missions in stages with checkpoints
- Instant Rollback: The Time Graph allows reversal of any mission
- Audit Trail: Every decision traceable to its reasoning
- Human Override: You always have the abort button
// Constitutional Constraints in Action
const mission = new RefactorMission({
scope: 'src/legacy',
playbook: 'modern-patterns-v2',
constraints: {
preservePublicAPI: true,
maintainBackwardCompat: true,
requireTestsPassing: true,
maxRiskLevel: 'medium',
},
})
// The Autopilot will refuse missions that violate constraints
if (mission.estimatedRisk > mission.constraints.maxRiskLevel) {
return {
status: 'rejected',
reason: 'Exceeds maximum risk threshold',
}
}The Command Deck Experience
Your new development environment isn't an editor. It's a Command Deck.
Mission Control
Monitor all active Autopilot missions in real-time. See progress, review decisions, intervene if needed.
The Playbook Library
Your accumulated wisdom, encoded and versioned. Share with your team, inherit from masters, contribute to the community.
Fleet Status
Every Autopilot in your hangar, their specializations, their success rates, their recent missions.
Time Graph Navigator
Travel through your project's history, see how decisions were made, understand the evolution of your codebase.
Join the Vanguard
The future of software development isn't about writing code faster. It's about not writing code at all for solved problems.
While others are still asking their copilot for suggestions, you'll be commanding fleets of Autopilots to execute complex missions. While they debug autocomplete errors, you'll be reviewing completed features. While they maintain, you'll be innovating.
The Choice Is Clear
Continue flying manual with a copilot making suggestions...
Or step into the Command Deck and let Autopilots execute your vision.
Early Access: The Alpha Fleet
We're assembling the first squadron of Fleet Commanders. The developers who will define the future of autonomous development.
Included in Alpha Access:
- Five core Autopilots (Coverage, Refactor, Migration, Docs, Security)
- Playbook creation tools
- Direct line to the Hatcher engineering team
- Lifetime membership in the Fleet Commander Guild
- Your name in the Manifest of Pioneers
The Manifesto
We, the builders, have spent too long in the cockpit.
We've mastered the controls, memorized the patterns, perfected the procedures. We've become exceptional pilots in an age that demands Fleet Commanders.
The tools we've been given—the copilots, the assistants, the suggestions—they've helped us fly faster. But we're still flying. Still executing. Still trading hours for lines.
This is not the future we were promised.
The future is Autopilots. Fleets of specialized, autonomous agents that execute our architectural vision with precision and scale. The future is stepping out of the cockpit and into the Command Deck, where our expertise is encoded into Playbooks that machines execute flawlessly.
We don't need more suggestions. We need execution.
We don't need assistance. We need automation.
We don't need better copilots. We need to stop flying altogether.
The age of the copilot is over.
The age of the Autopilot has begun.
Stop Flying. Start Commanding.
