FAQ
Is Gemini Enterprise better than Copilot 365?
Depends on the scenario. GE wins on agents, corporate connectors, central governance, long context (2M tokens) and transparent pricing. Copilot wins on familiarity for M365-heavy organizations and integration with the M365 stack.
Does Copilot have agents like Gemini Enterprise?
Microsoft has Copilot Studio for building agents, but the experience is more fragmented. GE consolidates workbench, connectors and governance in one place — typically faster to put real agents into production.
What about pricing?
Copilot for M365 starts at US$ 30/user/month. Gemini Enterprise: US$ 21 (Business) or US$ 30 (Standard/Plus) — usually cheaper for equivalent capability.
Which respects LGPD better?
Both can be configured to comply, but GE has the advantage of Data Residency in Brazil (Google Cloud São Paulo) and a transparent opt-out flow. Copilot also offers EU/US residency, with Brazil residency rolling out.
Can both coexist?
Yes. Many companies run Copilot in M365-heavy departments and Gemini Enterprise as the orchestration platform for cross-system agents. Autenticare designs hybrid architectures.
