Microsoft Copilot is genuinely good at this.

Libra uses the access your organisation gives it. A connection doesn't mean everyone suddenly sees everything.

  • Microsoft-native

    Copilot is deeply embedded in Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint.

  • Familiar surface

    Employees already living in Microsoft 365 can pick it up with almost no new tooling.

  • Enterprise-grade rollout

    For Microsoft-centric organisations, it is often the path of least resistance.

Why choose Libra

  • You want AI to finish the job.

    WorkBase is designed around what happens after the answer: creating the email, updating the CRM, preparing the report, routing the ticket, or moving a workflow forward.

  • You want one context layer for people & AI.

    The same company knowledge can power Search, Assistants, WorkBase and Agents.

  • Ask about what's on your screen. Then tell it what to do.

    Libra Desktop sits on top of the app you are already in, so the same context layer can read what you are looking at and act on it across your stack.

Microsoft Copilot isn't the only alternative worth a look.

Each one is the stronger fit for a different shape of work. Here is where to read the rest of the comparison.
