I use both. CoPilot does a great job of sources content but lacks good outputs. Writer can import that content and make the deliverable understandable and useful.

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

It is very easy to navigate, build, and contextually meld your agent into whatever you like. As long as you know how their back-end no-coding platform works, it becomes a breeze to create bespoke content that actually matters, and makes sense. We've done this with multiple agents and as I call it, "sub-functions". There's a lot more potential the agents can do, all you need to know is to just learn the process.

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.

  • Writer applies our writing style to copy I'm working on in browser tabs, ensuring I stay true to our voice.
  • Writer is able to quickly skim full blogs via a single link to use them as source material for drafting marketing copy I need.
  • Writer is my own business version of ChatGPT that keeps our sessions secure within the business.

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 do find the organisation a bit confusing, like the functions available in 'ask Writer' being separate to the main window. there were lots of functions i wasn't able to find intuitively that we needed a support call for
  • asking for a summary of key points doesn't always pick up the main points

Usability
Microsoft
it is nearly perfect and it’s usability one of the main factors and contributing to the score is how versatile this tool is. it is vastly usable in a multitude of circumstances, and has a few limitations, but overall this product works well for what it is intended. It is very helpful for some otherwise time consuming tasks.

I think It lost the race for now. I don't think Microsoft will keep investing on it since we have better tools outside their environment. In my opinion, Microsoft Copilot is not even in the benchmark tools and in the race for AGI. I think Microsoft is way behind and Microsoft Copilot suffered the lack of investment like the one made by its competitors.

WordPress is not very clear about the tools that are available with some themes over others. Instead, Write has multiple functions and makes the work complete in its entirety. It's easy to navigate and it also allows me to use multiple accounts. It has database links and at the same time it is compatible with MS office in all versions

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • Copilot has had a huge positive impact on my productivity. My job requires a lot of author and customer interaction, so since I use Copilot, I dont need to spend hours in my workday answering emails.
  • Copilot has also helped with my data analysis skills. I use the data analysis to create proposals and I have noticed a significant increase in project approvals after I have started using Copilot.
  • One of the business objectives of my company is to create high quality education resources. Since Copilot is integrated across platforms and departments in all office locations across the world, it has helped streamline operations in my company. This has definitely supported in achieving this objective.

  • Developing a styleguide to consolidate message, phrasing, writing style, and brand voice requirements.
  • I'd like to see a Firefox addition at some time, but for now, the Chrome and Google Docs extensions suffice.
  • Processes for producing, revising, optimizing, and publishing material have been streamlined.
