Our take
Pick GitHub Copilot if developers already in GitHub who want completions and chat without switching to a separate AI IDE. Pick Graphite if gitHub teams that already split work into stacked PRs and want Agent comments in the same inbox. Skip GitHub Copilot if teams that cannot send code to GitHub’s model pool, or users who want a local-only model (Ollama).
