yarta vs
Microsoft Copilot
Copilot indexes everything. yarta indexes only what you choose.
The core difference
Microsoft 365 Copilot is deeply embedded across Outlook, Word, Teams, and SharePoint. It helps you draft, summarise, and manage work inside the Microsoft ecosystem.
The trade-off is control. Copilot reads your entire Microsoft 365 tenant by default. A final policy and a half-finished draft from two years ago carry the same weight. When sources conflict, Copilot delivers a polished answer without flagging the disagreement.
yarta takes the opposite approach. You choose exactly which folders and workspaces to connect. Every answer cites the specific document. When sources conflict or confidence is low, yarta tells you.
