Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Microsoft
Application
Integrated development environment for building conversational bots, integrating with Microsoft Copilot Studio for low-code bot building.
AI assistant embedded in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams that grounds its answers in a customer's own business data and ships with pre-built agents.
Microsoft's assistant for chat, search and work inside Windows and the Microsoft 365 apps.
Security-operations assistant that summarises threat signals and helps analysts detect, investigate and respond to incidents in natural language.
AI agent
Agentic feature of Microsoft 365 Copilot that plans and executes multi-step, multi-app tasks end-to-end and returns a finished deliverable rather than a draft.
Developer tool
Coding assistant and agent inside the editor, the CLI and GitHub itself.
Sourcegraph
Application
Tracks metrics across every repository an organisation has — migration progress, dependency versions, code health — computed from the same search index Code Search uses.
A retrieval layer built to answer questions about a codebase at scale, feeding an AI agent the context it needs to reason across every repository.
AI agent
Runs a single migration across every repository an organisation owns, driven by an agent rather than a hand-written script per repo.
Developer tool
Searches and edits code across every repository an organisation has.
No counterpart
Microsoft sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Sourcegraph yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
