AI Flock vs Microsoft Copilot: what is the difference?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an assistant inside Word, Outlook and Teams that helps each person with their day-to-day work. AI Flock sets up specialized agents on the company's processes (proposals, technical reports, invoices) that know its documents, split the work between them and learn from every correction. They are not mutually exclusive: AI Flock connects to your Microsoft 365.

When Copilot is enough
If what you need is help writing, summarizing and searching inside Microsoft 365, Copilot is the natural choice and it is already in your apps. If you want a general-purpose assistant for the whole team and you already work with OpenAI, ChatGPT Enterprise covers that role.
How they work together
AI Flock uses your Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. The agents work on the same documents you see in Copilot: Copilot helps each person in their apps, and AI Flock agents take care of the multi-step work, with your approval before anything critical. What is AI Flock
