MathWorks deployed Simulink Copilot, a generative AI assistant embedded in the Simulink environment, as part of MATLAB and Simulink Release 2026a in April 2026. It helps engineers understand, troubleshoot, and automate tasks in complex system simulation models.

Simulink Copilot is grounded in the user's open Simulink model and MathWorks documentation. It can generate model explanations, answer questions about model behavior, locate specific blocks or subsystems, suggest fixes for simulation and code generation errors, recommend design changes, and execute standardized tasks defined in Process Advisor — such as checking modeling standards, running tests, and generating code. It operates inside the Simulink desktop environment.
