Adds the first public page for Autopilot, in English, under the Agent group next to Automations. The Translate content automation creates the es/fr/zh versions after merge.

Autopilot is now a customer-facing early access product, and the docs had no page for it. The page covers what it does and when it runs, the plan requirement, enabling it, required and additional GitHub repositories, Slack and other integrations, how it opens pull requests (including targeting a branch other than the deploy branch), the single assignee, reviewer and email recipient, which email domains it can email, suggestions, chatting with Autopilot (including from the editor agent), pausing, and credits.

It explains that Autopilot requires a plan that includes it. Without one, the dashboard shows an Unlock Autopilot upgrade prompt, hides Chat with Autopilot, and does not load suggestions or recent chats. During a product trial, the trial banner and sidebar badge appear for Autopilot. It also adds a redirect from /autopilot to the new page, because the upgrade prompt's Learn more link points there.

It also covers automatic pauses. Autopilot pauses itself when the organization runs out of credits (the dashboard shows an out-of-credits alert) or when the plan no longer includes Autopilot. Mintlify emails the person who enabled Autopilot, or else the organization's admin contacts, and queued work runs once Autopilot is turned back on.

Based on recent merged dashboard and backend changes: the rename from Instinct to Autopilot, the early access badge, required and additional repositories with an installed-only picker, pull requests targeting a non-deploy branch, one person as assignee, reviewer and email recipient, emails to company domains used by org members, rescheduling resumed schedules, billing runs that create or modify pull requests, and Autopilot-mode editor sessions and suggestions. It also draws on a dashboard change that gates Autopilot behind its plan with an upgrade prompt and trial banner, and on a merged backend change that pauses Autopilot when the plan or credits run out.

Left out because I couldn't verify them in the code: which plan or price includes Autopilot, how to request early access, the exact time of the daily run, whether SEO metadata fixes are part of its default work, and whether you can ask it to start a run on demand.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation and navigation/redirect config only; no product or runtime code changes.

Overview
Adds the first English Autopilot doc at agent/autopilot and wires it into the Agent nav in docs.json, alongside existing agent/automation pages.

The new page documents early-access Autopilot end-to-end: how it differs from automations, prerequisites and plan gating, enabling it, GitHub/Slack and shared integrations, PR workflow (branch targeting, reviewers, email rules), reviewing suggestions, chat and editor-agent access, manual and automatic pauses (credits/plan), and credit pricing.

Adds a /autopilot → /agent/autopilot redirect so dashboard “Learn more” links resolve to the new page.
