Our take
Pick GitHub Copilot if developers already in GitHub who want completions and chat without switching to a separate AI IDE. Pick Sweep AI if people who used Sweep’s GitHub bot or the JetBrains plugin and need a living replacement. Skip GitHub Copilot if teams that cannot send code to GitHub’s model pool, or users who want a local-only model (Ollama). Skip Sweep AI if teams that still want a hosted issue-to-PR agent —
