MIXED

A lightweight, standalone tool could solve something better than the giant and costly Copilot?

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General coding assistance, but perceived as a giant and costly solution that might not solve specific problems as well as a lightweight tool.

FAILED

A coworker who does [use LLMs] said that Copilot was one of the worst of the lot.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General LLM use

WORKED

It's massively cheaper. Copilot charges per request, which with some clever prompting, can lead to huge amounts of work being done at fractions of the cost of Claude Code. Millions of tokens for mere pennies.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI coding assistance, cost-effective development

MIXED

The AI Sentinel layer detects Copilot... then flags standards at elevated risk when AI accelerates output.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI-assisted coding

WORKED

A line at the bottom of PRs, reports, etc that says authored with the help of Copilot is fine.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Assisting with code authorship in PRs

MIXED

I built this after getting incredibly frustrated with how LLMs handle UI scaffolding in tools like Cursor and Copilot. If a PM or dev updates the text... you just hit Cmd+I Copilot Chat and say 'Sync changes'.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: UI scaffolding and code sync

MIXED

I find I am using Copilot somewhat more frequently... While the responses are not always perfect, they are often-enough accurate enough to be useful. And, it saves me a lot of time vs digging through... AI-generated slop pages.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Finding answers to 'how do I' questions for commercial tools instead of web searches

WORKED

I m using it via Copilot, now considering to also try Open Code (with Copilot license). I don t know if it s as good as Claude Code, but it s pretty good.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI-assisted coding

FAILED

Copilot generate large diffs that are hard to review, especially auth changes, DB migrations, and env var handling. Human reviewers miss things.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI coding assistance generating large diffs

WORKED

No problem - copilot coded both minesweeper and then added probabilities (hidden behind Learn checkbox).

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Coding a Minesweeper game and then adding a probability calculation feature.

FAILED

When skill files move between Claude, Codex, Copilot, and local storage, they lose their version identity.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Running AI agent skills

FAILED

Copilot bots being deployed wrecking the platform being unable to fix infrastructure issues.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI coding assistant (implied deployment on the platform)

MIXED

ALL of them said 7 .

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Testing its answer to a specific question (likely a math or logic problem).

MIXED

Some chatbots play quite well in unusual situations and others make illegal moves, make piece appear from thin air or forget they still have a piece on the board.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Playing chess in an AI chatbot championship

WORKED

your core feature can be achieved with CoPilot on any three.js project.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: To edit three.js code, implying it can achieve the same core feature as the discussed tool.

MIXED

I have had a similar experience vibe coding with Copilot (ChatGPT) in VSCode, against the Gemini API.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: vibe coding (assisted development) in VSCode for a dad joke generator project

WORKED

They will ask Copilot to help them make a formula in Excel and be happy to be done.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Creating a formula in Excel

FAILED

My company has been doing a large pilot of 365 Copilot but I have yet to find anything useful, the email writing tools just seems to strip out my personal voice making me sound like I m writing unsolicited marketing spam.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General productivity and email writing within Microsoft 365
