AI assistant embedded in productivity software

Kalruck vs. Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot and Kalruck both bring AI into daily work, but they're built around different foundations.

Kalruck

Kalruck is a standalone platform built around a Business Brain, specialized AI Assistance, and AI Workspace — designed to be the place your business's own knowledge lives and where AI Assistance and your team collaborate on it, independent of any single productivity suite.

Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant embedded across Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, designed to help with tasks inside those specific tools using your Microsoft 365 content.
