The sixth-generation (6G) of wireless networks introduces a level of operational complexity that exceeds the limits of traditional automation and manual oversight. This paper introduces the "Wireless Copilot", an AI-powered technical assistant designed to function as a collaborative partner for human network designers, engineers, and operators. We posit that by integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with a robust cognitive framework. It will surpass the existing AI tools and interact with wireless devices, transmitting the user's intentions into the actual network execution process. Then, Wireless Copilot can translate high-level human intent into precise, optimized, and verifiable network actions. This framework bridges the gap between human expertise and machine-scale complexity, enabling more efficient, intelligent, and trustworthy management of 6G systems. Wireless Copilot will be a novel layer between the wireless infrastructure and the network operators. Moreover, we explore Wireless Copilot's methodology and analyze its application in Low-Altitude Wireless Networks (LAWNets) assisting 6G networking, including network design, configuration, evaluation, and optimization. Additionally, we present a case study on intent-based LAWNets resource allocation, demonstrating its superior adaptability compared to others. Finally, we outline future research directions toward creating a comprehensive human-AI collaborative ecosystem for the 6G era.
