Copilot

vs the generic AI assistant

An AI assistant that answers over YOUR operation, not the open web. It is grounded in your own tenant data behind row-level isolation, capped by a hard per-tenant cost ceiling, and every answer is logged and costed — an assistant that cannot spend without limit or leak across tenants.

Why it wins

  • Grounded in your tenant data behind row-level security — never another tenant
  • Hard per-tenant cost ceiling (not a soft alert): it stops at 100%
  • Every call logged with prompt, response, tokens, cost and trace context
  • UK data residency; your data is not used to train a shared model

How it compares

Measured on publicly available data against the named market leader(s) it replaces. Every row links its source.
