An honest comparison
Do I need Inrconnect if Jobber has Copilot?
Fair question, and the answer isn't "Copilot is bad." It isn't. The two solve different problems. Copilot is Jobber's assistant inside Jobber. Inrconnect puts your Jobber data inside the ChatGPT or Claude you already use everywhere else. Here's the whole picture so you can decide.
