NeuralSeek and Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot helps staff inside Word, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint. NeuralSeek lets you build answers and agents that you deploy, govern and control.

Key differences

What each one does

Copilot is a packaged assistant. NeuralSeek is a platform. Each fits different work.

What you get
Microsoft 365 Copilot
A licensed feature of Microsoft 365, provisioned per user and used inside Microsoft's applications. You configure what it can reach.
NeuralSeek
A platform you deploy and configure. Your knowledge base setup, guardrails and agents run where you choose.
Which model answers
Microsoft 365 Copilot
Microsoft hosts the models, with a choice of providers in some features. That suits most desk work.
NeuralSeek
You choose. Bring your own LLM and pick a model for each step, a smaller one for simple steps and a larger one for writing answers. Governance shows token use and cost.
Where it works
Microsoft 365 Copilot
Inside Microsoft 365, over Microsoft 365 content, under Microsoft 365 permissions. That close fit is its biggest strength.
NeuralSeek
Across your systems: knowledge bases, databases, websites, documents and APIs, plus SharePoint, Slack, Jira and more through agent integrations.
Where data is processed
Microsoft 365 Copilot
In Microsoft's cloud, under Microsoft's tenant and regional commitments. Many organizations already accept that for email and documents.
NeuralSeek
On our SaaS, in your own cloud, or on your own hardware with no network connection. You choose where answers are generated.

When to use each

Copilot and NeuralSeek handle different jobs, so they can run side by side.

Drafts, summaries and finding documents
Personal productivity over Microsoft 365 content, checked by the person who asked. A per-seat assistant inside the app is the right tool.
Answers for customers, from approved content
When an answer goes outside the company or into a regulated process, NeuralSeek grounds it in your content, scores its confidence, masks sensitive data and logs it.
Workloads that stay on your premises
NeuralSeek can run on your own hardware, fully isolated from the network, for data that must stay inside your walls.

Pricing, running both, and getting started.

How does pricing compare?
The units differ. Copilot is licensed per seat. NeuralSeek is consumption-based SaaS or unlimited on-prem, so cost follows the work done. See pricing, or talk to sales for an estimate.
Do we need to drop Copilot?
You can keep it. They do different jobs. NeuralSeek agents can read SharePoint files, so governed workflows can use the same content your staff work with in Copilot.
How do we get started?
Start now on our SaaS, or request a demo and we will show NeuralSeek on your own use case.
