Kite has been around for a lot longer, if anything Copilot was Github copying them



I don't think it's reasonable to say either was copying. AI assisted tooling is obvious and people have been waiting decades for the tech to reach a point where they can build these tools. Kite tried to get in early - too early probably - but even if they were the very first they didn't invent the idea.


Interestingly checking previous submissions going back to 2016 the project had subtitle "programming copilot."
