A Copilot for Simulink!
I recently decided to investigate different AI coding assistant technologies and see how they can help with Simulink. This led me into a series of blog posts that I plan to publish in the next few days and weeks.
In this post, I will begin with:
- MATLAB Copilot
- Simulink Copilot Beta
In future posts, I am planning to visit
- My personal attempt at talking to Simulink
- MATLAB MCP Server
- AI Assistant Coding Rules Simulink
MATLAB Copilot
Even if it's not specifically targeted at Simulink, MATLAB Copilot is trained with the entire MATLAB documentation, so it can answer Simulink-related questions and handle Simulink-related code.
My two favorite ways to access it are:
Copilot Chat
A new panel in the MATLAB desktop where you can pose all types of requests, including Simulink-related ones. Here is a simple example:

The buttons on the upper right of the AI-generated code allows you to:
- Copy the code to the system clipboard
- Insert the code at the cursor location in the MATLAB Editor
- Execute the code
Ask Copilot
Another MATLAB Copilot feature I like is the "Ask Copilot". Let's say I type this code in the MATLAB Editor. I can select the second line and select Ask Copilot.

A dialog appears where I can type my request.

MATLAB Copilot will generate code that I can accept or reject.

It might not generate exactly what you need, but I find that, very often, it starts me in a good place and saves time.
Simulink Copilot Beta
If you're an enthusiastic Simulink user, I strongly encourage you to visit the Simulink Copilot landing page and sign up for upcoming beta testing opportunities for Simulink Copilot. You don't want to miss this chance to provide feedback and impact the design!
I have been testing Simulink Copilot during its development, but I will not share my experience yet to not impact the feedback we hope to receive during beta testing.
Here is a screenshot to give you a feeling of what this will probably look like.

I promise a blog post dedicated to Simulink Copilot soon after the official release!
Now it's your turn
Visit the Simulink Copilot landing page and sign up for upcoming beta testing opportunities for Simulink Copilot.
I would also be very interested to hear in the comments below what you would like Simulink Copilot to do for you.
