Visual Studio 1714 adds an option to auto‑fill Doxygen doc comment stubs using GitHub Copilot; when 1714 is enabled and a Copilot subscription logged in the editor shows a “thinking” state and then a full natural‑language description that can be accepted with Tab or dismissed. The generator uses function body as context, and the demo shows it documenting a return value as 1 for success and 0 for error exactly matching the code.
