The Enterprise Case vs. the Email Case

Agentys: Purpose-Built Email AI at a Lower Price

Microsoft Copilot is a powerful cross-app AI assistant that genuinely shines when you use the full Microsoft 365 ecosystem daily. Its email features — thread summarization, contextual drafts, tone adjustment — are useful additions to Outlook. But at $30/user/month, the email-only value is hard to justify unless you also rely heavily on Copilot in Teams, Word, and Excel. Agentys offers dedicated unattended email handling at a lower price, working on both Gmail and Outlook. Try it free for a week and see what email management looks like when the AI writes, not just suggests.
