A tag question using the contraction of is not followed by a pronoun. The first letter is capitalized.

--explanation--

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a sentence to confirm or check something. It's often used when the speaker expects the listener to agree with them. For example:

  • It's a nice day, isn't it? - The speaker expects that the listener will agree that it's a nice day.

  • They are coming to the meeting, aren't they? - The speaker expects that the listener will agree that they are coming to the meeting.

When Tom says, Isn't it automatic?, he is asking for confirmation that the auto-completion should happen automatically.
