Comparison

Foundation Machines vs GitHub Copilot code review.

Copilot code review is a generalist native to GitHub. Sebastion AI is a security specialist. They're complements, not substitutes.

GitHub Copilot's code review is now the most-installed AI reviewer on GitHub — and it should be: it's native, bundled, and shipped to every Copilot Business seat. We don't try to out-distribute it. Sebastion AI is a security-only reviewer that runs alongside Copilot: every PR also gets a security pass that maps findings to CWE classes, flags exploitability, and posts ready-to-apply fixes. Think of Copilot as the generalist and Sebastion as the security specialist on the same PR.
