The tools, at a glance
Three assistants are available at Qvantum. Here's what each one is, and which to pick.
Microsoft Copilot
A chat assistant in Edge & Teams, included with Microsoft 365.
- Quick questions & web-grounded answers
- Draft & rewrite text you paste in
- Not built into Excel / Word / Outlook
- Can't read your files, mail or meetings
Microsoft 365 Copilot
The same idea, built into your Office apps and your own data.
- Works inside Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams
- Uses your SharePoint, OneDrive & mail
- Summarises your Teams meetings
- Best for everyday Office work
Claude
A separate assistant for the harder, deeper tasks.
- Strong reasoning over long documents
- Code, analysis & multi-step tasks
- Building tools, not just answering
- Best when Copilot hits its limits
"Is free Copilot enough?" For quick chat and drafting, yes. But the free version can't reach into your Excel sheets, SharePoint, mailbox or meetings — that needs the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot. So: free Copilot for questions and pasted text; the paid seat for in-app and your-own-data work; Claude for the heavy reasoning and building. Microsoft renames and re-scopes these often — see Microsoft's Copilot docs for current details, and ask IT (Johan.d@wekudata.se) for what Qvantum has licensed.
Start in 3 steps
