GreenPT vs Copilot | A cleaner, safer and EU-hosted alternative

Microsoft Copilot is widely used inside the Microsoft ecosystem. GreenPT takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on software integrations, it prioritises data control, EU infrastructure and measurable sustainability.

For organisations that need strong privacy guarantees and environmental transparency, these differences can be decisive.

Why choose GreenPT over Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is designed primarily as a productivity layer on top of Microsoft 365. It connects large language models to company data through Microsoft Graph so it can analyse emails, documents, meetings and internal knowledge.

GreenPT focuses on something different: a controlled AI environment where data remains inside Europe and where infrastructure efficiency is publicly reported. For organisations with strict data policies or sustainability targets, that distinction matters.

  • All data processed inside the EU
  • User inputs never used to train the model
  • Powered by renewable energy
  • Lower PUE/WUE compared to industry averages
  • Strong tools for reasoning, vision, code, documents and speech
