I really love Copilot. I had a trial, let it expire because I thought I wouldn't really need it, and then ended up paying for it. It's apparently got even better. For me, at least, it gets most things very right and takes a lot of mundanity out of day to day development!

I work in Finance, if I type a certain client name out in public, I can be fired for it. Can copilot work without the internet and within only a corporate network ?

You might be interested in IntelliCode from Visual Studio. It's an AI-guided autocompletion tool, like Copilot, although dumber and less powerful. It can run in local mode [0], looking at your existing codebase (opened solution) to feed future suggestions.

Not presently per their FAQ.

> [...] The GitHub Copilot extension sends your comments and code to the GitHub Copilot service, and it relies on context, as described in Privacy below - i.e., file content both in the file you are editing, as well as neighboring or related files within a project. It may also collect the URLs of repositories or file paths to identify relevant context. The comments and code along with context are then used by OpenAI Codex to synthesize and suggest individual lines and whole functions.

No, you can already use offline alternatives like tabnine but it's not as good. But I guess better opensource models and tools will be available eventually.
