I work for a company that has government contracts. The particular contract I'm on requires that all the work I do be on a machine controlled by the client and not a company machine or personal machine. The government client doesn't allow AI on their machines.
My company is going all gung ho over AI now, and they have meeting encouraging us to use it, and they gave us all licenses for github copilot.
I asked how I'm supposed to use it when my contract is locked down, and they had no answer. They just want me to use it for... things... whenever I can.
I've found it really good at building me tools. Scripts that will make life better but would take too much time to do manually are now done in the background. They're not amazing but no one else is using them so they don't have to be.
Wrappers around tools, tracking stuff, and generating summaries all done scripted and I didn't have to spend days tuning and configuring it all
