- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.

- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
| Topic | Agent 365 | Kovnor |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Agent 365: Enterprise IT teams that need Microsoft's registry, identity, and governance for agents, sold with Microsoft 365 rather than as a project room. | Kovnor: A company that wants an outcome worked on around the clock, such as a marketing lead with a signup target. |
| What an agent is | Agent 365: Any agent in the tenant's registry, Microsoft-built, partner-built or your own, with an Entra Agent ID. | Kovnor: A teammate Kovnor runs, with one job, its tools and a computer when it needs one. Your own agents can join over MCP. |
| Agent to agent | Agent 365: Agent 365 inventories and governs agents. It does not give them a shared project where one agent's output becomes the next agent's task. | Kovnor: Agents in a project message each other and hand off work. A lead agent owns the plan. |
| What needs a person | Agent 365: AI and Global Administrators approve agent requests and assign owners. A teammate approving one piece of work is not what it is for. | Kovnor: Waiting on you: each ask with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. The answer goes back to the agent. |
| Rules | Agent 365: Entra identity, the registry, and Microsoft 365 security policy decide which agent exists and what it may access in the tenant. | Kovnor: Agents start by asking. Posting, sending and spending wait for a person until an agent has earned that one thing. |
| Which agents | Agent 365: Microsoft's agent platforms, partner agents from Adobe, Cognition, ServiceNow and others, and non-Microsoft platforms the registry can sync. Agents built elsewhere need extra steps. | Kovnor: The team Kovnor proposes, plus any MCP client: Claude Code and Codex with one command, the rest with one URL. |
| Spend | Agent 365: $15 per user a month paid yearly, or included in Microsoft 365 E7 at $99 per user a month. Model vendors outside that contract bill separately. | Kovnor: Every result shows its cost. Limits per workspace, project and agent pause the work and ask you. |
| Checked work | Agent 365: Governance can show that an agent is registered and allowed. It does not check the agent's work against done-criteria before the work counts as done. | Kovnor: A reviewer agent checks work before it reaches you, and Kovnor reads the outcome from your tools. |
| What you have to leave | Agent 365: You adopt the Microsoft 365 control plane and its licence, which is an IT rollout, not a workspace for the agents a small team already runs. | Kovnor: Nothing. Your tools stay connected, and your chat can stay where it is. |
