# 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.

> Cohere North lifecycle: sunset. Version-scoped component migration: legacy Jira removed in North 2.0; legacy Google Drive and guardrail REST slated for removal in 2.1, Salesforce legacy and Data Interpreter deprecated without a fixed date. Whole North continues. Scope: Legacy North connectors/APIs/Data Interpreter only; customer upgrade version determines removal. Continuation: New Jira/Google Drive/Salesforce tools, guardrail gRPC and Code sandbox replace legacy paths; connection recreation or application migration may be required. Checked 2026-10-21; agent cross-checked 2026-10-21; check again by 2026-12-20. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-north-changelog, cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-36.

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. It does not declare a winner. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent.

## 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

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (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.

- providers — Which model providers are available? [supported]: Provider types include customer Cohere containers, Cohere Platform/compatibility, vLLM, Azure Cohere, Bedrock, SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI and Anthropic. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-177-20261026.

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.

Limitations:
- Scope is commercial PowerPoint editing, with regional/subscription availability limits; no tenant picker or multimodal fixture was observed.
- Cowork and Studio roadmap launches are separate experiences and are excluded from this current-model finding.

### KNOW-01: Files in chat

Judgment rule: Record supported formats, size and count limits, scanned-PDF OCR, tables and spreadsheets, images inside documents, and whether a file is read in full or retrieved in chunks. Upload the shared fixture set (long German PDF, scanned contract, Excel with formulas, PowerPoint) and record failures.

#### Cohere North

Broad file formats and optional OCR are documented; the effective My files size limit for a deployment remains unknown.

Availability: unknown
Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=North 2 web application and Admin console, Customer-hosted North and Compass Kubernetes deployment; version=North platform2.0.1; exact docs feature state stated per atom; 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:
- limits: The effective My files default is unknown: its dedicated guide states 50 MB/file subject to configuration, while Supported files describes a 100 MB limit across all files. Neither is asserted as the verified deployment limit. Separately, chat images are limited to 20/message, 5 MB/image and 20 MB total; the supported-files guide lists 500 MB for SharePoint/OneDrive.
- ocr: Vision parser can OCR scanned PDFs and extract visual tables; alpha setup requires smart parser and hosted vision parser. More than500 visual pages fall back to pure text processing. No scan test run.
- spreadsheets: The supported-files guide says spreadsheet rows are not indexed for ordinary search and requires Data Interpreter for tabular prompts. Beta Skills also provide spreadsheet/CSV file operations through the code sandbox. Workbook formula/structure fidelity has not been tested.

Limitations:
- This is not a blanket connector entitlement for included Copilot Chat. The licence matrix permits Studio/pay-as-you-go synced data in agents only and excludes federation.
- External-service subscriptions/permissions and connector-specific regional rollout remain prerequisites.

- microsoft_365 — Which M365 sources (SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Teams) are connected? [supported]: Paid Copilot grounds on Microsoft Graph work content. Without that add-on, shared SharePoint/synced-connector data requires an eligible metered agent; ordinary Copilot Chat is not assigned equivalent grounding. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-privacy, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.

### 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.
