Does Copilot ring a bell? I am more than sure that YES. But what kind of bell? Microsoft Copilot or Copilot for Microsoft 365 (M365) or ChatGPT.
In this article, I am trying to highlight their core
differences. I am sure things might change in the next months, but defining a
boundary between them is still a good starting point.
I will start with the summary because I know that you don't
have too much time:
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant built for personal
use (Windows 11). It can be used for Windows 11 tasks, adjusting Windows
settings, and performing similar activities.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 is an AI-powered business tool.
It is used with professional tools from the O365 stack and assists us in
creating, understanding, and gaining insights related to the digital content in
our organization.
ChatGPT provides a platform that can be used for broader
activities and can be an AI assistant for different tasks (e.g., coding). It
can better understand a problem or question and provide a better response.
Remember that Copilot can access the internet and deliver
updated information with links and additional information. This is something
that ChatGPT is not able to do.
Microsoft Copilot
It's an AI tool for Windows 11 and helps us to navigate and
interact better in our day-to-day work with Windows. It is part of the OS. It
provides capabilities related to changing the PC settings, themes and desktop
personalization, getting custom results from Bing Seach and generating images
using the DALL-E AI model.
Copilot for Microsoft 365
This AI-powered tool is for your day-to-day work-related
activities. It integrates well with Microsoft 365 applications (e.g., Excel,
Word, Teams, Outlook). The potential of this AI tool is very high, and I am
sure that in 6-12 months, it will change how we work and interact with the
company's digital knowledge base.
The current capabilities allow us to write Word documents,
create presentations and work with Excel content. The features related to
Outlook, Teams and OneNote are essential, but I am sure this is only the beginning.
Yes, the Copilot for Microsoft 365 is not free but has much
potential.
ChatGPT
It is an AI system that can gain insights, automate tasks,
answer questions, compose emails, code and have engaging conversations. It is a
natural language processing chatbot driven by AI technology. The NLP technology
behind ChatGPT allows us to integrate and use AI in ways we don't even imagine.
I would say that the sky is the limit. He can interact with us as human beings
and can be our companion. The OpenAI technology has already been incorporated
into Bing Chat, Teams, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, and Copilot for
Microsoft 365.
ChatGPT is and will be the core of many other products and
features. For example, it connects the LLM capability with Microsoft Graph
(email, documents, calendar, meetings, Teams and many more). It provides
thought Copilot for Microsoft 365, productivity tools that change how we work.
Tips for Copilot for Microsoft 365
I discovered that Copilot for M365 works much better at copilot.microsoft.com
or in the mobile app. I don't understand what the difference is but give it a
try. This might happen because, at this moment, the web version uses GPT4. I
assume the ones in Office and Teams are older, but I am unsure. I noticed that
Chat GPT works much better.
The graph capability is impressive. Having the ability to 'search'
and extract information from all the documents from your tenant makes Copilot
for M365 very powerful. I expect to change how we interact and use company
internal information in the near future.
It already has Data Protection (Enterprise-grade Data
Protection) that ensures that all the data stays with you (tenant boundaries). This
is a big plus and opens new doors for organizations. The Commercial Data
Protection is activated automatically in the web version (no access from
Microsoft & no chat data is saved).
What is an Enterprise Data Protection Framework? An
enterprise data protection framework is a set of guidelines, best practices,
and tools to ensure an organization's data's confidentiality, integrity, and
availability (CIA). It encompasses a comprehensive approach that goes beyond
merely implementing security solutions (source: https://atlan.com/enterprise-data-protection-framework/)
Personal thoughts
Microsoft Copilot > At this moment, it has its behaviour
and sometimes does not listen to us as we expect (both web and Edge versions)
Copilot for Microsoft 365 > Does not always produce the
expected outcome (e.g., search capabilities in documents, TEAMS search
capability, or document generation based on specific templates). ChatGPT with
Word documents works much better. Copilot for M365 is still in its beginning.
Chat GPT > ChatGPT with GPT4 surprises me each day. It's very powerful and provides good results. It is much better than Gemini, mainly because of the fine-tuning done for GPT4. The business tools built on top of it, connected to the internet and real-time data, are groundbreaking changes.
