Microsoft 365 Copilot has quickly gained attention as a powerful assistant embedded in Word, Outlook, Excel, and Teams. It uses AI to help users draft documents, summarise emails, create slides, and automate admin tasks within the Microsoft ecosystem.

But while Copilot is designed as a broad office productivity enhancer, Ulla was created with a different intent: to act as a smart assistant focused on capturing, organising, and transforming spoken knowledge - especially in meetings and professional conversations. Ulla is continually evolving beyond just meetings, but structured communication remains her core.

So how do these two compare?

✳️ Key Differences

• Ulla’s strength lies in structure: Ulla creates clearly segmented summaries, pulling out action items, decisions, and next steps - ideal for collaboration, compliance, or follow-up.

• Speaker-level clarity: Ulla tracks who said what during the conversation, improving the traceability of decisions.

• Cross-platform access: While Copilot is tightly bound to Microsoft’s ecosystem, Ulla brings together meetings across platforms - Teams, Zoom, Google Meet - into one central, searchable space.

• Mobile advantage: Ulla’s mobile app enables users to record and upload voice meetings on the go - useful for phone calls, interviews, and offline conversations.

Both tools offer value - but in different ways. Copilot enhances the way you work with documents. Ulla enhances the way you capture and use spoken information. For organisations that need structure, security, and insight across all conversations - not just those happening in Microsoft - Ulla offers a more targeted, flexible solution.
