AskOro vs Microsoft 365 Copilot: Team Knowledge Search vs Enterprise AI Assistant

Microsoft 365 Copilot and AskOro are both sold as "AI for your team's knowledge." But they solve fundamentally different problems for fundamentally different customers.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant embedded inside Office apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook. It helps you write documents, summarize emails, and generate slides. It costs $30 per user per month, on top of an existing M365 subscription.

AskOro is a cross-tool knowledge search layer. It connects Slack, Confluence, Notion, GitHub, Jira, Google Drive, and OneDrive, then answers questions about what your team actually knows. It doesn't live inside Office apps. It lives inside the Slack channels where teams work. It costs $49 per month flat for the whole workspace, regardless of team size.

The critical difference: M365 Copilot works inside Microsoft's ecosystem. AskOro works across every tool your team uses, including the ones Microsoft doesn't own.
