Where the layers disagree ⚡
4 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDUSER vs IMPLIED BRAND: Users point out that while the client is MIT, the core service is closed-source and license-gated, raising vendor lock-in concerns.
USER vs MARKET: The name 'Copilot' causes immediate confusion with Microsoft/GitHub Copilot among new users.
USER vs VIDEO: Users discuss deep architectural features (AG-UI, durable UI), but video comments show basic UI generation failures (JSON returned but UI not updating).
DATA QUALITY: Video results are contaminated with GitHub Copilot content, making true video reality hard to assess.
