Typort vs Microsoft Purview for AI

Reports and activity. Reports cover Copilot experiences and agents, enterprise AI apps and other AI apps, with total interactions, total visits, sensitive interactions per AI app and insider risk severity. Activity explorer lists each AI interaction, AI website visit and sensitive information type found.

Third-party AI sites in the browser. Visits and pastes on sites such as ChatGPT and Gemini are seen on Windows devices onboarded to Purview, through Edge or the Microsoft Purview extension for Chrome.

Risky users. The Insider Risk Management "Risky AI usage" template scores risky prompts and responses, and that score feeds Adaptive Protection.

Data loss prevention. Endpoint DLP can block a paste, or warn with an option to override. One-click policies include an audit-only policy that finds sensitive content pasted or uploaded to AI sites, and a block-with-override policy for elevated risk users.

A licence that includes the features. Microsoft's service description lists Endpoint DLP and Insider Risk Management under Microsoft 365 E5 and the Microsoft Purview Suite, among others. Microsoft prices the Purview Suite at $12.00 per user a month, paid yearly, on top of Microsoft 365 E3.

Pay-as-you-go billing for AI apps other than Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft says managing third-party AI interactions "requires you to enable pay-as-you-go billing".

On Microsoft 365 Business Premium, it is an add-on. Microsoft lists a Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium add-on, which needs a Business Premium base licence and is capped at 300 seats. Microsoft prices it at $10.00 per user a month, paid yearly.

Set up on each device. Devices onboarded to Purview, and the Purview browser extension for Chrome or an Edge configuration policy.

Purview stops the paste. Typort shows the pattern. Purview does the security half well: the audit log, data loss prevention that blocks or warns, and risk scores for risky users. Typort does the view: usage and estimated spend per person, what the work is, search across the team's chats, and rules per client.

They run side by side. Keep Purview DLP and insider risk on for sensitive information. Add Typort to see who is using which AI tool, what it is costing, what the work is, and which client's material is going where. Typort needs no change to your Purview setup.

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.

Is Typort a replacement for Microsoft Purview?

No. Purview is a data security and compliance suite: audit, data loss prevention, eDiscovery, retention and insider risk. Typort shows how a team uses AI: usage and estimated spend per person, allowances, what the work is, flags and client rules. Many teams will want both.

Can Typort block a prompt?

No. Typort shows what went in after the fact, with flags and client rules marked broke or close. If you need a paste or a prompt stopped before it is sent, that is what Purview data loss prevention does.

Which AI tools does Typort see?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the browser, through the Typort browser extension. Microsoft 365 Copilot capture is built and comes in the next extension update. It reads what is on the page, so it works on Business and Team seats and needs no API keys from the AI vendors.

What does Purview need to cover AI apps?

Microsoft lists Endpoint DLP and Insider Risk Management under licences such as Microsoft 365 E5 and the Microsoft Purview Suite. AI apps other than Microsoft 365 Copilot also need pay-as-you-go billing turned on, and devices onboarded to Purview with the Purview browser extension. On Business Premium, Microsoft offers a Purview Suite for Business Premium add-on.

Are the dollar figures exact?

No, they are estimates from the tokens in each chat at the AI vendor's API list price. They are there to compare people and tools, not to replace the invoice.

Can staff see what the company sees?

Yes. The five switches are shown to everyone in plain words on their first screen, and every time an admin or team leader opens someone's chat, it is recorded. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.

What does the team view cost?

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
