Thanks for mentioning these. We'll look into what is happening with the context on Hacker News.

I am familiar with co-pilot and I appreciate the suggestion and think it's possible you're right. We actually used to have gray text which you can enabled in certain sites still if you click the extension icon in the top left of your browser: https://imgur.com/a/90wDnvN

We found that it was very difficult to integrate that grey text with many websites in the way you might expect it to work. We are still exploring what a happy medium might look like.

There is some similarity and there were some inspirations from Gmail to be sure. For example, there were many users of Superhuman or Front who really disliked the fact that they wouldn't be able to use autocompletions in their email client (we work on Superhuman in the browser and Front support is coming soon).

We do find that we are able to predict significantly more text than Gmail is able to.

Compose Now is only available on certain websites, but we are working on enabling it everywhere else. You can find a list of websites we are officially integrated with here: https://composeai.notion.site/Supported-Tools-0f3ee54d5ef04d.... When a website is "experimental", you can force enable the extension (autocomplete) there but may encounter some issues. Thanks for pointing out the Github example—we'll look into that.
