Copilot sucks, so I fixed it

Hacker News

Copilot sucks. Developers have tools like Cursor and Windsurf that integrate AI smoothly into their workflows. But for other professionals—people writing documents and emails all day—the experience is clunky at best. Copilot for Word feels like a demo. Outlook’s is barely usable. So most professionals just copy and paste their content into ChatGPT and back, just to get something polished. So I built Scrutiny. It's what Copilot should have been. I originally built it for myself but we are now seeing significant adoption across several large consulting firms and independent professionals. Try it for free here: www.usescrutiny.com Would love feedback, especially from folks who’ve tried Copilot and felt underwhelmed.
