Why teams choose Coworker over Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is embedded in M365 apps (Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook) and works best within the Microsoft ecosystem. Coworker is tool-agnostic: it works across Salesforce, Jira, Slack, HubSpot, Google Workspace, and 100+ other tools. Coworker also includes no-code autonomous agents, OM1 organizational memory, and a native meeting notetaker that automatically updates any CRM or project tool after calls.

Microsoft Copilot for Sales has Salesforce integration. Broader Jira and Slack integrations require Power Platform connectors or custom development. Coworker ships with native read and write connectors to Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Slack, and 100+ tools with no custom development required.

Copilot Studio is Microsoft's platform for building custom Copilot agents. It is powerful but requires IT or developer involvement for complex workflows. Coworker's agent builder is designed for business users: no-code triggers, schedules, and approval gates that non-technical CSMs, AEs, and ops teams build and run themselves.

Microsoft Copilot costs $30/user/month as an add-on, but requires an M365 E3 or E5 license underneath it. Coworker is $30/user/month all-in with no required base licensing. For teams not already on M365 Enterprise, the total cost of Copilot is significantly higher.

Yes. Coworker is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and CASA Tier 2 verified. All data is encrypted, respects existing permission models, and is never used to train AI models. Enterprise customers get SSO, RBAC, and a dedicated security review. Note: Microsoft Copilot has HIPAA and ISO 27001 certifications that Coworker is still working toward.
