Frequently asked questions
What kinds of assistants are tracked here?
Coding copilots (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, JetBrains AI), productivity assistants (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini Enterprise, Google AI Pro), and build-your-own assistant platforms — split by subcategory so teams can compare like-for-like.
How is enterprise data handling captured for assistants?
Each per-tool page documents the data-residency posture, audit-logging capability, certifications (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / ISO 42001), and EU AI Act role with source URLs. Assistants that lack public statements on a dimension are marked 'unknown' with a reason.
Are coding assistants and productivity assistants comparable?
They are tracked separately because their evaluation criteria differ: coding assistants care about IDE coverage, language support, and repository context; productivity assistants care about Office/Workspace surface coverage, tenant isolation, and identity integration. Use the subcategory filter to compare within a class.
