Your questions
Choose with the work in mind.
Compare all approachesWe already use Microsoft 365. Why consider Coryntas?
Consider Coryntas when you want a provider to build and run agents for specific business work, including the integrations and ongoing improvements that work needs. Keep evaluating Copilot for tasks it already handles well in your Microsoft environment.
Can Microsoft 365 Copilot complete tasks and take action?
Yes. Microsoft describes Cowork as planning and executing multi-step work across apps and systems, with approval checkpoints. Copilot also supports agents and customization. The comparison is about the fit and delivery of your business task, including who configures and maintains it. [3]
Is Microsoft 365 Copilot the same as Copilot Studio?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is the employee-facing AI experience across Microsoft apps and work context. Agent Builder lets users create agents from that experience. Copilot Studio offers broader tools for building and customizing agents. Licensing and included usage depend on the plan and scenario. [4]
Can we keep Copilot and use Coryntas for selected work?
Yes. You can keep Copilot for employee work and evaluate Coryntas for a selected business task. The systems, access and integration requirements for that task are confirmed before implementation.
How should we compare the total cost?
Use the same business task and representative cases. Include subscriptions, agent or usage charges, implementation, supervision and ongoing maintenance. Compare the quality of the finished result and the work your team still needs to do. [1]
