The Core Difference: Generalist vs. Specialist
Microsoft Copilot assists with a wide range of business tasks. It summarizes emails and drafts general documents. Jarel focuses exclusively on legal work. It understands legal sources and provides tools for contract review and case analysis.
Source-Linked Answers: A Non-Negotiable for Legal
Every claim made by Jarel is directly linked to a specific citation in your source documents, enabling a clear audit trail. Copilot generates text based on broad training data and does not provide this crucial, source-level verifiability.
Built for Legal Workflows
Jarel includes primitives for legal work, such as tabular review. This lets you compare clauses across hundreds of contracts in a single interface. Copilot is a generalist tool and lacks these specialized features for multi-document contract analysis.
