|
Microsoft Graph grounds responses in your organization's existing files, emails, and meetings automatically, based on what you're already permitted to see.
|
Getting the work done
| Capability | WorkLLM | Copilot |
|---|---|---|
| Create docs, sheets, slides, flowcharts, wireframes and diagrams |
Docs, sheets, slides, flowcharts, and diagrams, delivered as an actual file or visual you can use immediately, not a preview stuck inside the chat.
|
Native to PowerPoint, Word, and Excel, builds fully designed presentations with layout, imagery, and formatting, independently rated among the strongest AI presentation tools available.
|
| Create & edit images, video & audio |
Supports generating and editing images directly in chat; for video and audio, it understands but cannot create or edit them.
|
Generates and edits images natively, and can summarize meeting audio and video in Teams.
|
| Write & debug code |
Coding models help with generation and debugging inside the chat interface, not directly in your codebase.
|
Coding support comes through GitHub Copilot, a mature, dedicated coding agent that works directly inside your codebase.
|
| Write in your brand's voice and tone |
Every generated document, email, or piece of content can pull your brand voice, tone, and business context from organization memory automatically.
|
Grounds in your organization's existing files and tone through Microsoft Graph, but isn't built around a dedicated, curated brand-voice layer applied automatically.
|

|
Deep native access to Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, and SharePoint through Microsoft Graph, plus 1,400+ connectors through the Power Platform.
|
Automating the work
| Capability | WorkLLM | Copilot |
|---|---|---|
| Ready-made agent library for your workflows |
A library of ready-made AI agents for sales, marketing, HR, product, operations, and more, so you're running one on day one, not building from a blank page.
|
The Agent Store is a mature, generally available marketplace with named prebuilt agents from Microsoft (Researcher, Employee Self-Service, Sales Agent, Service Agent, Facilitator, Project Manager, Knowledge Agent), plus a partner ecosystem and internally shared custom agents, a genuinely broad, real library.
|
| Automate your workflow in minutes |
Describe your workflow in one prompt, and an AI agent is built and ready to run, no prompting skill, no technical setup, and no engineering required.
|
Agent Builder lets you describe a simple agent in plain language, but a real multi-step business workflow requires Copilot Studio, a node-based conversation canvas of triggers, conditions, and connected actions, a different setup experience than a single description.
|
| Run your workflows in your work apps |
An AI agent can act directly inside 100+ natively connected tools, or any other tools through MCP, no waiting for a native integration to be built.
|
Copilot Studio agents connect to 1,400+ Power Platform connectors and also support MCP for further extension.
|
| Full transparency: review every step, or approve as it runs |
See exactly what an AI agent will do before it runs, edit any step, and choose whether it acts fully on its own or holds for your approval first.
|
Copilot Studio's visual canvas lets you review and edit every step, trigger, and action before publishing an agent.
|
| Governance & usage: version history, run reports, and spend tracking |
Every AI agent keeps a version history and run log, so you can see what changed, what ran, and what it cost.
|
Agent 365 provides unified lifecycle management, access control, and monitoring for agents built across the Microsoft ecosystem, plus Copilot Credit consumption dashboards.
|
| Shared AI agents across your workspace |
Once an AI agent is built, anyone in the workspace can use it, no rebuilding the same automation for every person or team.
|
Agents built in Copilot Studio can be published to Teams and across Microsoft 365 for anyone in the organization to use.
|
Working with your team
| Capability | WorkLLM | Copilot |
|---|---|---|
| Co-prompting, commenting, & tagging colleagues on AI answers |
Multiple people work inside the same AI thread, co-prompting, commenting, and tagging each other, so a conversation becomes shared work, not a private one-off.
|
Group collaboration happens through Teams chats and channels, but there's no dedicated co-prompting or inline commenting experience around an AI conversation itself.
|
| Shared team projects |
A project holds multiple folders, each with its own memory, and anyone with access can start a thread or add context, so the whole project builds shared knowledge, not just a list of past chats.
|
Loop workspaces and Teams channels provide shared project organization and context, grounded in your organization's Microsoft 365 content.
|
Security and control
| Capability | WorkLLM | Copilot |
|---|---|---|
| Tenant isolation and deployment options |
Enterprise customers can run on dedicated, physically isolated infrastructure, a private VPC with your own servers and storage, included as part of the WorkLLM platform.
|
Logical isolation within your Microsoft 365 tenant, enforced through Microsoft Entra, with sovereign cloud and data residency options for regulated regions.
|
| Encryption and single sign-on |
All data encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols, with SAML-based SSO for enterprise deployments.
|
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, with native SSO through Microsoft Entra ID.
|
| Access control, audit logs & guardrails, on every plan |
Granular role-based permissions, full audit logs, and automatic input/output guardrails, all included by default, not gated behind a higher tier.
|
Role-based access through Microsoft Entra ID, audit logs, and data loss prevention through Microsoft Purview, applying to Copilot by default.
|
| Your data is never trained on or retained |
Customer data is never used for model training, and zero data retention at the LLM layer means requests to model providers aren't retained at all.
|
Business and enterprise data isn't used for training by default, with retention policies for Copilot interaction data managed through Microsoft Purview.
|
| Admin dashboard and governance |
A central admin dashboard with usage analytics per user and per agent, integrations, sharing controls, and access revocation.
|
The Microsoft 365 admin center provides centralized user management, usage reporting, and Copilot-specific controls, backed by Microsoft's mature identity and compliance stack.
