Rent vs. Own: The Full Comparison
This table compares the Microsoft Copilot model — managed rent, user taxes, and locked data — against the AMG AI Solutions model of asset ownership, zero recurring fees, and local data sovereignty.
| Microsoft Copilot — Managed Rent & Locked Data | AMG AI Solutions — Asset Ownership & Zero Rent |
|---|---|
| $30/user/month on top of existing Microsoft 365 subscription | Private RAG systems trained exclusively on your documents and data |
| Limited to Microsoft 365 ecosystem — no cross-platform intelligence | Cross-platform intelligence — not limited to one vendor's ecosystem |
| Generic AI with no knowledge of your specific business context | Zero per-user fees after project delivery |
| Your prompts and interactions may inform Microsoft model training | Your data never trains public models — guaranteed data sovereignty |
| No custom RAG — Copilot can't learn your proprietary documents deeply | Custom knowledge bases that know your products, clients, and processes |
Why "AI Rent" Is the Biggest Hidden Cost in Your Business
Most enterprise AI platforms are built on a subscription model — which means you never actually own the intelligence layer you're paying to build. Every month, you pay for access to your own workflows, your own data, and your own trained models. When you stop paying, you lose everything.
AMG AI Solutions operates on a fundamentally different principle: we are contractors, not landlords. We build the system, transfer the keys, and walk away — leaving you with a fully owned AI asset that costs you nothing to run month-over-month.
The AMG AI Standard: What You Own When We're Done
Every AMG AI Solutions engagement ends with a full asset transfer. Here's what you receive:
- ✓ Full source code and GitHub repository access
