Microsoft Copilot (copilot.microsoft.com) is Microsoft's consumer-facing general-purpose AI assistant, offering conversational chat, a 'Discover' feed, 'Imagine' image generation, and Experiments/Tasks/Projects features. It's a separate product from GitHub Copilot (Microsoft's developer-focused coding assistant), aimed at general everyday use rather than software development.
Read the full Grok review
Grok is xAI's assistant, tightly integrated with X (formerly Twitter). Its selling points are real-time access to public posts, a looser conversational style and image generation with fewer topic restrictions than competitors. For monitoring breaking news or the pulse of a topic on X, it has a genuine data advantage. As a general-purpose assistant it is competitive with GPT-class models on many tasks, though it trails ChatGPT on ecosystem and Claude on writing polish.
