Agent-readable comparison

Cohere North vs Microsoft Copilot

Published by onAI. onAI also sells one of the products compared here. Findings about other products link to public sources so you can check them; statements about onAI are marked as stated by onAI.

This comparison has 47 criteria with sourced findings for both products, including 47 that a second agent cross-checked for both. 51 criteria have a sourced finding for at least one product. "Sourced" findings passed publication validation: they are scoped, fresh and cite public resolved sources. "Agent cross-checked" findings also received a separate agent source pass, not necessarily a hands-on test. "Stated by onAI" marks the publisher's own statements about its product (evidence type vendor-statement), which cite no third-party source. Humans approve the rubric, templates and generator; they do not review every finding. No winner is declared. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent.

Same facts as Markdown and JSON. Methodology.

Models

MOD-01 Model catalogue and providers

Judgment rule: List each available model by provider and plan, including reasoning, fast and multimodal variants. Record whether the user picks the model, the product routes automatically, or both. A provider counts only if at least one of its current models is selectable on the scoped plan.

Cohere North

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

North supports customer-configured Cohere and external providers; deployed models determine availability.

Availability: unknown · Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=North 2 web application and Admin console, Customer-hosted North and Compass Kubernetes deployment; version=North platform 2.0.1; alpha model-tier aliases and direct image input; North Mini separately Beta; plan=North custom enterprise contract; current 2.0.1 release and per-feature states, entitlements unverified; add_ons=none stated; deployment_mode=not specified; region=Customer-selected private deployment; cloud inference and provider region configured separately; os=not specified.

Limitations

  • current_models: The model card documents North Large 01-2026, and the October 16 release adds North Mini Beta. The Skills guide recommends additional external model identifiers, but those do not establish what any customer deployment has installed or licensed.
  • auto_routing: Documented resolution is group default, Default alias, then deployment default; inaccessible aliases silently fall back to provider default with a log warning. Automatic task-based routing across providers and UI disclosure of that fallback remain unknown.
  • multimodal_input: North Large 01-2026 accepts text/images,256K input and32K text output. Alpha image input is Cohere-only; visual parser handles PDF/DOCX/PPTX, including OCR. Dictation uses configured ASR; complete per-model matrix unknown.

Microsoft Copilot

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Commercial PowerPoint editing offers Auto, ChatGPT and Claude; this is not a catalogue for every Copilot chat or agent.

Availability: generally-available · Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps and Teams; version=Continuously updated commercial service, retrieved 2026-10-21; plan=Commercial Microsoft Copilot subscription: PowerPoint editing mode only; add_ons=Eligible Microsoft 365/PowerPoint subscription, Commercial Microsoft Copilot subscription, Anthropic subprocessor enabled by the enterprise administrator for Claude; deployment_mode=multi-tenant-saas; region=Commercial cloud; EU/EFTA tenant scope where stated, including Switzerland; no government-cloud generalisation; os=not specified.

  • mcp_client Can it use remote MCP servers, and with what admin control? [supported]: North registers custom/remote MCP; remote OAuth dynamic registration needs outbound access and is unavailable fully air-gapped. Tool access policies can target groups. Always-on MCP policies are Alpha; the guide recommends enabling them only in testing/staging until the organization is ready for broader adoption. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-126.
  • tool_auth Do tools act as the user or as a shared account? [supported]: Static headers, per-user ID/connector tokens, OAuth client credentials or remote OAuth supported. Shared/static credentials require separate source-policy assessment. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-126.
  • tool_approval Can admins approve or block tools, and can users confirm actions before they run? [partial]: Destructive-hint tools can pause for approval or denial, and the modal offers parameter editing.

Microsoft Copilot

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Copilot Chat can translate referenced document text and accept tone/audience instructions. Format-preserving Word Translator and SharePoint glossary translation are separately scoped workflows.

Availability: generally-available · Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps and Teams, Microsoft Copilot paid work chat; version=Continuously updated commercial service, retrieved 2026-10-21; plan=Commercial Microsoft Copilot add-on for Word writing examples; general work-chat prompts where the support guide explicitly applies; add_ons=Eligible Microsoft 365 base subscription, Paid Microsoft Copilot add-on; called Microsoft 365 Copilot in some source pages, Source-service credentials/subscriptions and Purview entitlements where required; deployment_mode=multi-tenant-saas; region=Commercial cloud; EU/EFTA tenant scope where stated, including Switzerland; no government-cloud generalisation; os=not specified.

Limitations

  • Copilot’s prompted translation does not establish preserved page/table layout or a managed corporate glossary.
  • Word Translator is a separate base-app command; SharePoint/OneDrive glossary translation is separately metered document processing requiring Azure billing and permissions.
  • No shared translation/glossary/Swiss-language fixture or complete dedicated-engine specification was verified.
  • document_translation Can whole documents be translated with formatting kept? [partial]: Copilot Chat documents translation of attached or referenced file content. Microsoft separately documents Word Translator creating a formatted translated copy; that is a Word command, not a Copilot Chat formatting guarantee. No DE-to-FR/IT layout fixture was run. Sources: microsoft-copilot:microsoft-copilot:r5-chat-translation, microsoft-copilot:microsoft-copilot:r5-word-translation-boundary.

DATA-02 Deployment options

Judgment rule: Record multi-tenant SaaS, dedicated single-tenant instance, deployment in the customer's cloud account, on-premise and air-gapped as separate options with plan and availability. Record which features are missing in each mode, who operates it, and the documented seat or contract threshold for each mode, which can differ from the enterprise plan threshold (e.g. dedicated SaaS from 2,000 seats, own cloud from 5,000). A local-network connector or gateway that reaches on-prem data from a vendor-hosted platform is KNOW-03, not on-premise deployment.
