Microsoft 365 Copilot is the Microsoft counterpart of Amazon Q Business. Q Business is in maintenance (no new customers), and AWS's successor is Amazon Quick.
- Microsoft 365 Copilot is embedded in Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, and grounded on Microsoft Graph. It's a SaaS per-user product, not an Azure service.
- Amazon Quick combines chat, Quick Index (company data), Quick Flows and Quick Automate (workflow and agentic automation), Research, Spaces, and Quick Sight BI. It connects Slack, Teams, Outlook, CRMs, and databases.
- For custom low-code agents, Microsoft's tool is Copilot Studio. Amazon Quick Flows/Automate cover some of the same ground.
