GitHub Copilot

What works

  • Most-installed AI coding tool — bundled with GitHub Pro/Business/Enterprise plans
  • Multi-vendor model access: GPT-5.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, others
  • Native VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, Xcode, and Neovim integrations
  • Strong enterprise story: SSO, audit logs, IP indemnification, policy controls
  • Agent mode now ships multi-file edits and PR creation
  • Free tier is real — non-trivial usage allowance for individual developers

What doesn't

  • Agent mode is newer and less mature than Claude Code or Cursor
  • Multi-vendor models can mean inconsistent behaviour across tasks
  • Microsoft / GitHub vendor lock-in if your stack already lives elsewhere
  • Slower feature velocity on agentic workflows than Claude Code
  • Code completion can suggest patterns from training data that don't match your codebase

Relevance AI

What works

  • Most powerful tool-building interface in the no-code category
  • Handles complex multi-step logic without code
  • Strong for research and outbound automation
  • Active product development

What doesn't

  • Steeper learning curve than Lindy
  • Pricing scales quickly at volume
  • Documentation can be inconsistent
