By the end of this showdown, you’ll have a clearer idea of which chatbot suits your company’s needs and goals. Let’s dive in!
Background
ChatGPT for Teams
"ChatGPT for Teams" is a premium version of ChatGPT designed for collaborative team workspaces. It offers a range of capabilities, including creating custom GPTs on your data, scanning the internet, analyzing data, and enhancing various other types of work. With ChatGPT for Teams, you get access to OpenAI’s latest models as well as commercial data protection, all within a dedicated workspace for your team, complete with admin controls and team management features.
Copilot for 365
"Copilot for Microsoft 365" combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with data from the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps. Copilot integrates with various Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and Edge. Additionally, you can develop custom plugins for Copilot using your Microsoft data in Copilot Studio.

Now, let's dive into a feature-by-feature comparison of "ChatGPT for Teams" vs. "Copilot for Microsoft 365" vs. "Azure AI Studio":
Conclusion
In conclusion, "ChatGPT for Teams" is the best chatbot but lacks Microsoft integrations, "Copilot for Microsoft 365" is clunky but is the best solution for Microsoft customers, and "Azure AI Studio" is best solution for developers to custom build chatbots.
At Pioneer, we are researching and testing all these products, like PwC and McKinsey, but are leaning into "Copilot for Microsoft 365" because of their Microsoft integrations, especially with better Fabric integrations coming soon.
