    Questions.

    What is the difference between Notuly and Copilot?+

    Copilot only takes notes inside Microsoft Teams and processes your meeting through Microsoft. Notuly takes the notes for every conversation, in-person, hybrid and online, with your phone on the table or the desktop app on your laptop, and keeps the processing on Dutch servers in Amsterdam.

    Can I use Copilot for in-person conversations?+

    Only with an add-on: the Facilitator agent in the Teams mobile app can take notes of an in-person meeting, and it requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence. Without that licence, Copilot picks up none of the conversation at the table. Notuly needs none of that: you start the recording at the table and the report is in your email.

    Does Notuly work for online meetings too?+

    Yes. The desktop app for macOS and Windows takes the notes straight from your laptop, in Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. No bot enters your meeting and you don't need a Microsoft 365 licence.

    Does Notuly replace Copilot?+

    For notetaking, yes: Notuly covers in-person, hybrid and online conversations in one app. Copilot does more than take notes within Microsoft 365 (chat, email, documents); Notuly doesn't replace that part.

    How do they differ on privacy?+

    Copilot processes your meeting through Microsoft: Microsoft servers, Microsoft AI (OpenAI and Anthropic models) and a recording that stays in Teams. Notuly processes on its own servers in Amsterdam, deletes the audio within a minute of processing and never trains on your conversations. Microsoft states that enterprise data is not used for AI training; check the terms of your licence.

    What does Notuly cost alongside Copilot?+

    Copilot is part of a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence. Notuly Starter is free: three conversations per month, no payment details needed. Pro is a fixed monthly price including VAT; the current prices are in the comparison table above. They are separate costs for separate tools.

    I already have Copilot. Why add Notuly?+

    For everything outside the Microsoft route: the meeting over Zoom or Google Meet, the in-person conversation without a Copilot licence, and every conversation where you'd rather the recording didn't stay in the Microsoft cloud.

    I don't have Copilot. What should I choose?+

    Notuly covers in-person, hybrid and online in one app, with no Teams and no Microsoft 365 licence. For a broader comparison, see the guide to the best AI notetakers in Europe.

    How do I switch from Copilot to Notuly?+

    There is little to migrate: Notuly keeps no archive, so you take nothing with you and leave nothing behind. Create an account, download the app and record your first conversation. Three conversations free, no payment details needed.

    Can Copilot and Notuly run side by side?+

    Yes. They work independently of each other: Copilot in Teams, Notuly on your phone or through the desktop app. No conflict, no overlapping settings.

    Notuly vs Microsoft Copilot in short: Copilot takes notes inside Microsoft Teams and processes your meeting through Microsoft, with a recording that stays in your tenant. Notuly takes the notes for every conversation, in-person, hybrid and online: your phone on the table, or the desktop app for macOS and Windows in Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. Processing on Dutch servers in Amsterdam, audio deleted within a minute of processing, no archive and no training on your data. Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence; Notuly Starter is free with three conversations per month, no payment details needed. Both can produce reports in Dutch; with Notuly you choose Dutch or English per report.
