Faber vs Microsoft Copilot.
Copilot answers when you ask, and it will run a saved prompt on a schedule. For work that needs more than a prompt, it hands you Copilot Studio and asks you to build the agent yourself. Faber builds it from your description and runs it.
| Faber | Microsoft Copilot | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Automation that runs your recurring work. | An assistant that helps in the moment. |
| Who builds it | The AI builds it from your description. | You build the agent yourself in Copilot Studio. |
| When it works | Runs on its own, on a schedule or the moment work arrives. | Answers when you ask, or runs a saved prompt on a schedule. |
| Before it runs | A full preview run you approve, with nothing sent or changed. | No recurring run to approve. |
| Approvals | Mark any action to require your approval after each run. | Not built in. |
| Recurring follow-up | Reads replies and follows up until the job is done. | In-the-moment help. |
| What a run can reach | Its own locked-down process, limited to the services that task connected and its own files. | Runs with your Microsoft 365 permissions. |
| Record of each run | A plain-English record of what it did, written for the person whose work it is. | Chat history, or an activity log in Copilot Studio for whoever built the agent. |
| Works across | Email, spreadsheets, calendars, and more, with your approval. | Strongest inside Microsoft 365. |
| Built for | People who want to automate their work but don't know how. | People who want help inside Office, or to build their own agent. |
