Microsoft Teams Copilot at a glance
Strengths
- +Native to Teams, no external bot joins the meeting
- +Strong agentic features via the Facilitator agent: live AI notes, agenda tracking, and auto task sync to Planner
- +Deepest integration with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Planner, SharePoint, grounded in Microsoft Graph)
- +Enterprise-grade compliance: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA with BAA, and no foundation-model training on your data
Limitations
- −Cloud-only with no offline mode
