    Chose GitHub Copilot
    It has historically worked much better. However, as all of this is relatively new technology it is hard to really judge something since most of the time you are kind of using a beta version of a product. I believe things will get better over time. That said, Microsoft copilot …

    I used Cursor AI as well, along with CoPilot. Curson has its own AI editor, but Copilot works with almost every code editor. So I don't need to depend on just one editor, and I get the flexibility to choose my own editors. The billing is also good and doesn't require many …

    Copilit is fantastic at the following: 1. Solving simple, well-defined problems, such as implementing an algorithm, manipulating a data structure, or string manipulation and regex. 2. Implementing simple APIs that are mainly CRUD in nature, with moderate business logic inside them, which may involve some processing or passing the data through an algorithm. 3. Implementation of well-defined activities, such as implementing a connection to an Oracle DB using Hibernate or JDBC, or implementing boilerplate code for a backend service to listen to Kafka events. It is not that great when it comes to understanding and implementing code in a proprietary DSL. It struggles when implementing a major feature across a complex codebase. I believe developers should also adopt the trust-but-verify paradigm when expecting highly secure or regulated code from GitHub Copilot.

    Gemini is well suited to help in customer service, to create summaries of emails sent by customers, generating possible responses to them, rephrasing communications, help create and then correct SQL queries, interpreting responses, it's not so good if you need to help with a sensitive topic due to it taking personally identifying information

    Cons
    GitHub
    • The only issue I faced is the context token size, it can be increase.
    • Sometime with agent mode it takes too much time, which can be reduced but I understand it also depends on the complexity of the given task.

    • Currently the document database caps out at 10, requiring us to condense some of our policies
    • It's large context window is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes it stops generating half way through a very ambitious request as it delivers page after page of content
    • There is no way to share Gems currently, so we have to publish guides to our employees on how to best configure them

    Usability
    GitHub
    I feel that GitHub Copilot's overall usability is good due to its tight integration with Visual Studio and the workspace. However, developers expect greater ease of use, as there is a learning curve to realize productivity gains with the tool fully. I think there is room for improvement in GitHub Copilot's UI integration within Visual Studio.

    Google Gemini Web UI provided an intuitive user experience with a collapsible side menu and a recent chat feature. It has a nice, clean design and easy-to-use "Ask Gemini" chat control with an integrated Tool menu that provides quick access to Deep Research and Create images options. One can also search for chats quickly and efficiently.

    It is useful that copilot integrates so well with vscode, which is a very common IDE. I used Tabnine for a little while but it was not that intuitive, and did not seem as helpful as GitHub copilot was. I have enjoyed GitHub copilot a lot, especially the ease of hitting the tab key and seeing quick progress in my tasks.

    Hootsuite's OwlyGPT is great for social listening data, but Gemini is far ahead in terms of caption writing and other writing needs. Even for content creation ideas, I'd rather take the social listening insights then feed that to Gemini. ChatGPT I truly have never been a fan of. Gemini's interface has always intrigued me more and I find it to have great functionality. Lastly, I included Perplexity - just to note another tool I've used. Perplexity is great for deep research, but outside of this I would always go with Gemini.

    • Our ROI of the purchase of Copilot was met in less than a day. The timesave cannot be overstated
    • Programmer boredom/dissatisfaction is down because of less repetetive crud work.
