## What the models said for it

- "Use Microsoft Teams (if you are on M365) or Slack (if you are on Google/Hybrid) for your day-to-day, fast-paced communication." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "My default recommendation: Microsoft Teams + SharePoint, if your company already uses Microsoft 365." (GPT-6 Luna, Internal communications)
- "The Safe Bet: Microsoft Teams ... has become the default choice over the last few years." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Internal communications)
- "I'd recommend Microsoft Teams as the top choice for most scenarios" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Internal communications)

## And against it

- "daily communication tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, or Google Workspace, do not use them for sensitive disclosures" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Whistleblowing)
- "Modern SaaS platforms create ecosystems where each tool works best with the others, creating integration dependencies that are expensive to replicate elsewhere: Outlook + Teams + SharePoint + OneDrive." (Muse Glimmer 30B, Internal communications)
- "such as Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Skype... these tools lack recruitment-specific features and can still introduce bias through inconsistent use" (Perplexity Sonar, Video interviewing)
- "Standalone communication tools such as Slack, Teams, or newsletter-only systems if you are using them as the intranet itself" (Perplexity Sonar, Internal communications)
