Prerequisites
- MATLAB R2025a or newer (desktop version).
- A valid MATLAB Copilot license linked to your MathWorks Account.
- Internet connection (required for AI features).
Step-by-Step Setup
- Open MATLAB (R2025a or later).
- Sign in to your MathWorks Account:
- Click the Sign In button in the top-right corner of the MATLAB desktop.
- Log in with your MathWorks credentials.
- Once signed in with a valid Copilot license, features activate automatically — no separate installation or toolbox download is needed.
How to Use It
- Copilot Chat: Open the chat panel (usually on the right) to ask questions, generate code, explain code, debug errors, or get suggestions.
- In the Editor:
- Use autocomplete as you type.
- Right-click selected code → Copilot options (explain, generate, add comments, etc.).
- Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + P to ask Copilot at cursor.
- Generate, refine, run, and iterate on code directly in MATLAB.
- For Simulink or other products, similar integration applies once licensed and signed in.
