Sistava vs Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is tightly integrated into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, augmenting Office apps with AI capabilities. Agent 365 adds governance and multi-agent coordination but requires existing M365 licensing. Sistava is a purpose-built AI workforce platform that works with any tech stack, includes built-in project management, and does not require committing your organization to Microsoft.

> **Bottom line:** Sistava is designed as an AI employee platform from day one. Copilot is an AI layer bolted onto existing Office productivity tools.

## Profile

- **Founded:** Copilot launched March 2023 (Microsoft founded 1975)
- **Funding:** Publicly traded (NASDAQ: MSFT). ~$3T market cap.
- **Focus:** AI assistants and agents embedded across Microsoft 365 apps
