FINDABLE vs MICROSOFT COPILOT

If your AI strategy is just buying Copilot, you’re optimizing the wrong thing.

Microsoft Copilot is a productivity layer welded to the Microsoft 365 stack. Findable is an enterprise AI platform you deploy inside your own tenant. Different jobs, different capabilities, significant difference in management overhead.

WHERE FINDABLE DIFFERS

Three structural differences, not feature checkboxes.

Every chat is its own AI agent.

Copilot Studio asks you to publish a separate agent for every use case — a Sales Agent, an HR Agent, a Compliance Agent, each its own project, each its own deploy. In Findable, the chat is the agent: files, memory, prompts, allowed models, workflows, and data sources, all configured per chat. HR’s rules differ from Engineering’s? Different chats. No new project to spin up. No platform team to escalate to.

One model isn’t enough.

Copilot uses GPT through Azure OpenAI. Strong default; only option. Findable routes per chat to Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek, or local Ollama. Cost-sensitive workloads to cheap models. Reasoning-heavy work to frontier models. No vendor lock.

Per deployment, not per seat.

Copilot is $30/user/month at scale — a 5,000-person company spends $1.8M/year. Findable is licensed per deployment. At scale, the math isn’t close. Even better: you don’t pay more when the assistant gets useful enough that more people start using it.

WHEN COPILOT IS THE BETTER CHOICE

We’re not for everyone. Here’s when you don’t need us.

Your team lives entirely in M365 — Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint — and you don’t need data outside the Microsoft Graph.
You want native AI inside Office UIs (write emails from Outlook, summarize meetings in Teams) and tight UX matters more than flexibility.
You’re already paying for E3/E5 and the marginal cost feels acceptable.
You don’t need to build custom workflows beyond Copilot Studio’s scope.
FedRAMP High is a requirement today and you can’t wait for our roadmap.

If any of the above sounds like you, Copilot is probably the right move. If two or more don’t apply, we should talk.
