- Microsoft Copilot ChatMicrosoft Copilot Chat, formerly Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, is the secure AI chat included with eligible Microsoft 365 licenses. It is grounded mainly in the web, works on files users provide, runs agents, and carries enterprise data protection when people sign in with a work account.
- Microsoft Defender XDRMicrosoft Defender XDR is the extended detection and response layer over Microsoft's Defender services. It joins alerts from endpoints, email, identities and cloud apps into single incidents in the Defender portal, supports hunting across that data and can contain an attack automatically while it is still running.
- Microsoft Foundry Agent ServiceFoundry Agent Service is the managed runtime in Microsoft Foundry for building, hosting and scaling AI agents. Teams configure prompt agents with no code, run voice agents, or deploy their own agent code as hosted containers, with Entra identity, tools, tracing and publishing to Teams and Microsoft Copilot.
Comparison 2
- Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Copilot Chat?Copilot Chat is the secure, mainly web-grounded AI chat included with eligible Microsoft 365 licenses. Microsoft 365 Copilot (the app is now called Microsoft Copilot) is the paid add-on that grounds answers in work data through Microsoft Graph and Work IQ and adds priority access and full in-app Copilot.
- Microsoft Defender XDR or Microsoft Sentinel?Microsoft Defender XDR correlates and responds to threats using signals from Microsoft's own security products across endpoints, identities, email and apps. Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM that collects data from Microsoft and other sources across clouds. Both now meet in the Defender portal.
