AI tools are becoming way more common and since there are so many available in the market, it becomes pretty confusing also as to which one you should choose from. Apart from ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot and Google’s Gemini are leading the race. And I have a controversial statement to make- Microsoft’s Copilot is a better choice than Gemini. Well, I have my fair share of reasons to say that. Read along.
Unlike Gemini, which majorly functions as a standalone chatbot, Microsoft Copilot is deeply embedded within Microsoft’s ecosystem, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. It enhances everyday productivity by generating documents, analysing data, and managing emails all within applications that we use on a daily basis.
With Copilot, Microsoft is also offering enhanced enterprise security, making Copilot a safer choice for businesses. It runs on Azure’s secure cloud infrastructure and complies with industry standards for data protection. Google Gemini, on the other hand, is more focused on general consumer AI applications.
Copilot leverages OpenAI’s GPT-4-turbo, fine-tuned for professional use. With this, it excels at summarising reports, drafting emails, and generating high-quality presentations. While Gemini is powerful for creative tasks, Copilot is optimised for workplace efficiency and real-world applications.
Copilot also has some innovative features like Recall, which helps users retrieve past work and important details effortlessly. Graph-based AI further enhances task automation by understanding user workflows—something that Gemini lacks in a structured work environment.
An additional benefit of Copilot is that it is integrated within Teams and SharePoint, making collaboration smoother. Gemini is great for search and brainstorming but doesn’t offer the same level of team productivity tools.
Now those were my reasons, but for you, Gemini might be more convenient. So, do what works best for you.
