ChatGPT vs Microsoft Copilot: Which Should You Use?

Most Australian businesses benefit from both. Here's when to use which.

Use Microsoft Copilot When:
  • Working in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams
  • Need to edit existing documents or spreadsheets
  • Want AI without leaving Microsoft apps
  • Enterprise compliance is critical (uses M365 security)
Use ChatGPT When:
  • Building custom GPTs for specific workflows
  • Creating knowledge bases from company documents
  • Need more flexible prompting and creativity
  • Working outside Microsoft ecosystem

Our Recommendation

Use Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 productivity (90% of office work). Use ChatGPT for custom GPTs and workflows outside M365. We teach you both in AI 101 and AI 201 so you pick the right tool for each job.

Who Needs Microsoft Copilot Training?

If Your Team Uses Microsoft 365 Daily

You're already paying for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams. Copilot turns these tools into AI-powered productivity machines. Training helps your team actually use Copilot instead of ignoring it or using it wrong.

If You've Just Bought Copilot Licenses

Copilot costs $30 USD per user per month. Without training, adoption is 20-30%. With training, adoption hits 80%+. Don't waste money on licenses your team doesn't know how to use. Training pays for itself immediately.

If Email and Documents Are Killing Your Team

Copilot in Outlook drafts emails in seconds. Copilot in Word generates reports from bullet points. Copilot in Teams summarises meetings. If your team spends hours on these tasks, Copilot training delivers instant ROI.

If You Need Enterprise-Grade AI Security

Microsoft Copilot runs on your existing M365 compliance framework. Data stays in your tenant. Perfect for regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal, mining) where data sovereignty and compliance matter.

Microsoft Copilot Training FAQs

What is Microsoft Copilot training?

Microsoft Copilot training teaches your team to use Microsoft 365 Copilot across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. You learn how to prompt Copilot effectively, automate document creation, analyse data in Excel, draft emails, and run more productive meetings. It's hands-on training where people use Copilot on their actual work during the session.

Do we need Microsoft 365 to use Copilot?

Yes. Microsoft Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Business Premium license, plus the Copilot for Microsoft 365 add-on ($30 USD per user per month). We help you understand licensing requirements and set up Copilot properly during training.

What's the difference between ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot?

ChatGPT is a standalone tool you access via browser. Microsoft Copilot is built into Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams). Copilot works directly on your documents, emails, and spreadsheets inside the apps you already use. ChatGPT is better for custom GPTs and knowledge bases. Copilot is better for Microsoft 365 productivity. Most businesses benefit from both.

Is Microsoft Copilot secure for Australian businesses?

Yes. Microsoft Copilot uses your existing Microsoft 365 security and compliance framework. Data stays within your tenant, follows your data residency settings, and respects your compliance policies. For Australian businesses, this means data can stay in Australian data centres if your M365 tenant is configured that way. We cover security setup in our training.

Can we integrate Copilot with our existing systems?

Yes. Microsoft Copilot integrates with SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Graph. In AI 201, we show you how to connect Copilot with Power Automate for workflow automation across your systems. If you use Dynamics, Salesforce, or other platforms alongside M365, we build integrations that make sense.

Do you train on Copilot Studio and custom copilots?

Yes, in AI 201 and AI 301. Copilot Studio lets you build custom copilots for specific business processes. We teach you how to create these, connect them to your data sources, and deploy them across your organisation. This is advanced Copilot usage for businesses ready to scale AI.
