    Chose Microsoft 365 Copilot
    Microsoft Copilot is a serious competitor to ChatGPT in the corporate world, due to its heavy and well implemented integration across the Microsoft 365 suite. It produces comparable results, but provides data security, controls, customisation and options that ChatGPT can't …

    Chose Perplexity
    Perplexity offers a unique approach to generative ai tools, which is built more around a search engine, over a chat style tool. While this is novel, and some times more useful than the chat type of tool, i didn't feel it added enough value or increased power over the standard …

    I highly recommend its usage in Teams meetings to prepare a session transcript, meeting minutes,
    next steps and recognize speech by person. Also within the meeting recording, there is separation between the people talking at the time. The Copilot image creation is very accurate and useful to
    customize my PowerPoint presentations and other documents

    Perplexity is helpful when you want auto-code generation for day-to-day problem scenarios such as Powershell script to accomplish a task, Code to invoke a REST API, Class generation from JSON/XML data, etc. It is also helpful when you want to correct or optimize code that you have self-written. Perplexity might not be best suited for scenarios when you need 100% accuracy without your self-verification of correctness.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Good analysis of the ticket system at the service desk, so that this can be anticipated properly
    • For the management of IT environments, quick examples of scripting for desired solutions
    • For consultants and managers, they co-pilot a technical report into language understandable to a non-technical client, including a visual summary.

    • Research the company that my prospects work for.
    • Research background on my prospects.
    • Combine those two and come up with about one page on how to approach them based on the space (persona) I created.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • The quality of image generation in Microsoft Copilot could be improved. Compared to other AI platforms, Copilot's images often fall short in quality and frequently contain typos.
    • When generating agents and chatbots, Microsoft Copilot currently doesn't appear to support file download functionality.
    • The email reply function is useful, but the responses can sometimes be overly elaborate. It would be helpful to have more options for adjusting the tone.

    I give this rating because of the utilization I do with the product and the level security it provides which is very good. In our organization it is best suited as we have all other Microsoft tools with us. The offering made by Microsoft is great, I gave 9 out of 10 as sometimes it hallucinates as well.

    It's great, but doesn't necessarily feel like it adds enough value over using CoPilot, ChatGPT, or whichever generative AI tool your business already uses. Time will tell if this model continues to be developed, and whether it remains competitive with the other big models out in the industry, and innovating features and integrating more use cases fast.

    We needed a tool where secure data was not submitted to servers to process as we have some health care related data to keep private. We also needed to be able to test this tool without committing first to see if it is a fit and Microsoft provided this easily to us.

    I use all three at present, Perplexity IS outstanding when It comes to researching, like a search engine on steroids. If you need programming skills Claude or Chatgpt seem better suited for the task. What I normally do in a project IS use all three in order to arrive at a more insightful outcome. The BEST of all world.
