Pick Microsoft Bot Framework if…
The framework may suit developers building bots for multiple channels who need tools for conversation flows, knowledge-based answers, and human handoff. It is less suitable for new development if ongoing SDK maintenance is required.
Pick Microsoft Copilot if…
Copilot suits people who want an AI assistant across web and mobile or desktop platforms, with search, file uploads, and image creation. Microsoft 365 subscribers may also want its bundled apps and cloud storage; Family subscribers should note that AI features are for the subscription owner only.
