Safety (as stated by the vendor)
6 rows
| Fact | Copilot Actions on Windows | Wabi |
|---|---|---|
| Data it can access | Copilot Actions on Windows: When the admin-only "Experimental agentic features" setting is on, agents can get read and write access to Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Music, Pictures and Videos, plus folders all authenticated users can reach and apps installed for all users. Per agent, set Files to Allow Always, Ask every time or Never allow (Settings > System > AI Components > Agents); turning the setting off removes folder access. support.microsoft.com · checked | Wabi: You choose connections (email, calendar, contacts, location, photos, read-only health data, and on Mac files, Notes and Messages) and can revoke device permissions at any time. Disconnect a service under Profile > Connectors to stop further access; Wabi then deletes the connected data it holds within 30 days, except content already used in conversations, which stays until you delete those conversations or your account. wabi.ai · checked |
| Asks before sensitive actions | Copilot Actions on Windows: Yes Microsoft’s stated principle: "Users approve all queries for user data as well as actions taken." By default Windows asks for consent when an agent requests files in the known folders. support.microsoft.com · checked | Wabi: Yes "Wabi checks with you before important actions that require your approval". On a Mac it sends only messages you approve (privacy notice). apps.apple.com · checked |
| Sees your passwords | Copilot Actions on Windows: Not stated | Wabi: Not stated |
| Trains on your data | Copilot Actions on Windows: Not clearly stated Copilot lets you "opt out of using your conversation activity for model training"; no Copilot Actions-specific training statement found. support.microsoft.com · checked | Wabi: Not clearly stated Connected-account content (email, calendar, Slack and so on) is not used to train Wabi's or its model providers' models, and providers are contractually barred from training. The notice does not say the same for your chats and task content, which may be used for internal research and product development. wabi.ai · checked |
| Isolation | Copilot Actions on Windows: Agent workspace: a separate Windows session with its own agent account (distinct from yours) and scoped folder access; lighter than a full VM such as Windows Sandbox. support.microsoft.com · checked | Wabi: Cloud service: AI requests go to Google, Anthropic and OpenAI, and website tasks run in hosted browser sessions. Wallet items (credentials, cards, IDs) are encrypted and released only after you authenticate on your device. wabi.ai · checked |
| Retention | Copilot Actions on Windows: Microsoft Copilot stores conversation activity for 18 months by default. You can delete individual chats from the Chats list (...More > Delete) or your whole activity history from the privacy dashboard, and delete saved memories in Settings > Personalization > Manage > Delete all memories. support.microsoft.com · checked | Wabi: Conversations, task content and memory are kept while your account is active; you can delete individual conversations. Account data is deleted or anonymized within 30 days of account deletion; AI providers keep content up to about 30 days; backups and logs up to 90 days; analytics up to 24 months; financial records typically 7 years. wabi.ai · checked |
