They have 4 hand picked examples on their homepage: https://copilot.github.com/

One has the issue with form encoding: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27697884

The python example is using floats for currency, in an expense tracking context.

The golang one uses a word ("value") for a field name that's been a reserved word since SQL-1999. It will work in popular open source SQL databases, but I believe it would bomb in some servers if not delimited...which it is not.

The ruby one isn't outright terrible, but shows a very Americanized way to do street addresses that would probably become a problem later.

And these are the hand picked examples. This product seems like it needs some more thought. Maybe a way to comment, flag, or otherwise call out bad output?
