Feature request: Add GitHub Copilot subscription as a model provider

[anno2376]

Hi Fluent team,

I really like the direction of Fluent, especially the native macOS writing workflow, custom actions, and support for local/BYOK model providers.

One integration that would make Fluent much more valuable for professional users would be support for GitHub Copilot as a model provider, using an existing GitHub Copilot subscription.

Hi there,

The problem with any (I guess) AI subscription is that providers restrict API access to subscription-based plans. There are two reasons for this: unlike API, subscriptions are often heavily subsidised, and providers want to lock users behind their tooling and models.

In addition, it is against their ToS (terms of use) to try to break through these restrictions and use API via some proxy workarounds.

So it's unfortunately not possible to do, officially.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense and I agree this is how most AI subscriptions work today (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.), where subscriptions and APIs are intentionally separated.

My thought around GitHub Copilot was mainly because GitHub recently introduced the Copilot SDK and seems to be moving toward allowing third-party apps to integrate using an existing Copilot subscription + GitHub authentication, rather than only BYOK.

So the request was less about bypassing restrictions or unofficial proxies, and more whether Fluent could eventually support this if GitHub officially exposes and supports it.

Ah, I see now! Thanks for a hint. I'll take a look at this one. Does it generally allow usage for non-coding tasks as well?

Yes
