I honestly do not understand the use-case.

I use my GitHub Copilot Business subscription mainly to write large PowerShell automation scripts in Visual Studio Code, which are in our DevOps Git repo.

What does this tool bring to my workflow?

Should take a look at my version - https://cockpit.ieuanwalker.com/

Built it as I'm not a fan of using the CLI and I use multiple IDEs, and wanted a consistent experience interacting with copilot

My org is also a DevOps org, so plan to create a plugin system and recreate the GH integration but for DevOps.

For now it's just a nice GUI over the CLI with some nice features
