Kylon vs Microsoft Teams
Teams is where you talk. Kylon is where the work gets done.
Kylon is a company harness where agents join your team, understand your business context, and execute real work across the tools you already use.
01 Which one is the right answer
Not every team should pick the same one.
Teams is the right answer when
Your company runs on Microsoft 365, the conversation is the product, and nobody wants a second place to check. A bot inside Teams is far less disruption than a new workspace.
Kylon is the right answer when
The talking already happens somewhere and the work still does not get finished. You want shared company context, agents that execute, and a review step you can see.

How an agent lives in each one

Where staying in Teams is the better call
Kylon is not a Slack or Teams add-on, it is a workspace of its own. If your team lives entirely inside Teams and has no intention of moving, a product that lives there is less work for you. What we trade that for is shared company context, execution you can review, and a method that stays after the run.
Questions people ask
- Do we have to leave Microsoft Teams?
- No. Teams, Outlook and the rest of the Microsoft tools are connected services in Kylon, so an agent can read and post there while the work itself happens in the workspace.
- What does Kylon cost?
- Kylon is a paid workspace, not a free Teams replacement. Current plans are on the pricing page.
- Does anything get sent or saved automatically?
- Sensitive actions wait for approval before they execute, and agents only see and touch what you allow.

The conversation is not the deliverable.
Keep talking wherever your team already talks. Put the work, the records and the agents that do it in one place.
