Agent access
ai-native userPoint an agent at llms.txt or agent-oriented docs
weight 2 · round to ChatGPTChatGPT's Browser and MCP features let a user direct the agent to fetch and use third-party documentation or websites (e.g. Context7 for developer docs, browsing arbitrary URLs), which would technically allow pointing it at an llms.txt or agent-oriented doc page. The evidence pack also shows ChatGPT's own docs site publishes an llms.txt (probe-1), indicating familiarity with the convention, but there is no explicit documented feature or example of a user instructing ChatGPT to consume an llms.txt file specifically.

Missing for 10: independent hands-on evidence specifically validating data-insight quality/accuracy (community evidence largely covers unrelated features like web search accuracy issues, not data-analysis insight quality).

However, hands-on community reports concretely contradict these claims for core products: a user found Copilot in Word 'couldn't do anything except append to the end of the document... couldn't create tables' (copilot-comm-4), and Outlook's summarization is described as 'so bad' with a tiny UI button (copilot-comm-5); others report never finding a use case (copilot-comm-9). One community report is positive about cross-document data fetching (copilot-comm-7), so evidence is genuinely mixed rather than uniformly negative.

Microsoft's own docs describe extensive delegation features—Copilot in Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Outlook, Researcher, Analyst, Browse with Copilot performing multi-step browser actions, and Cowork handling 'bigger, multi-step tasks'—clearly positioning Copilot as a built-in assistant that can take on tasks. However, hands-on community reports contradict smooth delegation in practice (e.g., Copilot in Word 'couldn't do anything except append to the end of the document,' couldn't create tables or maintain formatting, and some users report never finding a real use case), indicating real-world task execution is often shallow or unreliable.

Microsoft Copilotn/aMicrosoft Copilot is itself an AI assistant/agent; the evidence only shows it acting as a client connecting to other services (OneDrive, Gmail, etc.) rather than exposing itself as an MCP server for other agents. Per the agent-role exception, this axis does not apply unless there's evidence of Copilot running as an MCP server, which is absent here.

weight 2 · not comparableChatGPTnone0/10The evidence pack contains no documentation of an interactive API reference or runnable code examples; a direct probe for OpenAPI/swagger specs on the docs site returned 404 across all candidate paths, and no other citation mentions an API reference sandbox or runnable snippets.

ai-native userTest against a sandbox environment without touching production data
weight 1 · not comparableCodex documentation indicates commands run inside a sandbox by default, with rules governing what can run 'outside the sandbox' (chatgpt-docs-95), and Codex Security's scanning is scoped to repos you own/have permission to assess (chatgpt-docs-97/98), implying isolated execution rather than direct production access. However, there is no explicit documentation describing a dedicated 'test/staging' environment distinct from production data, no detail on how production systems/data are excluded, and no independent/hands-on confirmation of this isolation. Missing for 10: explicit sandbox-vs-production data separation docs, details on network/data isolation guarantees, and independent verification of the sandbox boundary holding in practice.

ai-native userRead the product's source under an open license
weight 2 · not comparableChatGPTn/aChatGPT is a closed-source, proprietary SaaS product; open-sourcing its source code is not a plausible axis for this kind of product (unlike an open-source framework or tool), so this is a category mismatch rather than a missing capability.
Microsoft Copilotnone0/10Microsoft Copilot is closed-source proprietary software; no evidence indicates any open-license source availability, and probes for docs/API artifacts returned 404s. This is an applicable axis (a product could conceivably be open-sourced) but no evidence supports it, so verdict is none rather than na.

ai-native userSelf-host the core product
weight 3 · not comparableChatGPTn/aChatGPT is a closed, hosted proprietary product with no evidence of a self-hostable core model or server; self-hosting is not a fair axis for this SaaS product category (it does not ship open weights or an installable core).
Microsoft Copilotnone0/10Microsoft Copilot is a cloud-hosted SaaS product with no evidence of any self-hosted or on-premises deployment option; all documentation describes it as a hosted service (Copilot.com, Microsoft 365 cloud integration, Edge browser actions) with no self-hosting mechanism mentioned.
