Honest comparison — no sales spin
Copilot writes the code. Specky decides what to build.
GitHub Copilot is an excellent AI pair programmer — it autocompletes code, suggests implementations, and speeds up engineering. Specky sits upstream: running user research, synthesising signals, writing the spec, and generating the tickets that Copilot-assisted engineers will implement.
