What is QC Copilot

What is QC Copilot? #

QC Copilot is an enterprise-ready, AI-powered real-time code validation solution integrated into the IDEs of ServiceNow and Salesforce. 

It helps platform owners and architects maintain consistent coding standards by integrating controlled AI into the development process. For developers, it empowers teams to fix issues instantly boosting speed and productivity while learning from the best practices curated from Quality Clouds’ extensive repository. 

 

Why this matters? #

Without real-time validation, quality issues are often detected late in the development lifecycle, leading to rework, delays, and increased technical debt.

QC Copilot shifts quality left, enabling developers to identify and fix issues instantly as they code. This not only improves development speed but also ensures consistency with best practices and governance standards from the start.

For organizations, this means:

  • Reduced technical debt and fewer post-deployment issues
  • Faster delivery cycles with less rework
  • Stronger governance without slowing down developers
  • Continuous learning through AI-guided recommendations

 

Prerequisites: #

    1. An API key/Token: A valid API key is required for the QC Copilot to function properly. 

    1. QC Copilot Add-On Enabled: The QC Copilot feature is provided as an add-on. Customers must request the QC Copilot to be enabled in their Quality Clouds license. Please contact the Quality Clouds team to initiate this request.
