Where Synlets wins

Purpose-built for ticket-driven development teams.

Native Jira & Asana Integration

Assign a Jira ticket or Asana task — get a working PR with code review. Copilot's coding agent works from GitHub Issues, but Jira requires a separate Marketplace plugin and Asana isn't supported.

Built for the Whole Team

PMs, tech leads, and non-technical stakeholders can assign work directly from Jira or Asana. Copilot is primarily designed for developers — the rest of the team needs GitHub access to use it.

Policy-Based Review with Auto-Fix

Custom reviews based on your company policies, internal docs, and knowledge base with automated fix → re-review loops. Copilot has AI PR review, but doesn't review against your custom standards or auto-fix issues.

Where Copilot wins

Copilot has evolved into a powerful platform. Its in-editor autocomplete and chat are best-in-class, and the new coding agent can autonomously implement GitHub Issues as draft PRs. It also has AI-powered PR review and a free tier. If your team is GitHub-native and developers are the primary users, Copilot is a strong choice. Synlets is complementary — it's built for teams running on Jira or Asana where PMs and leads need to assign work without touching GitHub. Use Copilot for hands-on coding, Synlets for ticket-driven automation.
