copilot
Captain's right hand
A copilot is the second pilot in an aircraft, assisting the captain and capable of taking command if needed.
The term extends to any assistant who shares control: My wife was copilot on our road trip, handling navigation.
In computing, copilot now names AI assistants that help with coding or other tasks.
