Copilot sounds amazing on paper. The free (to 365 subs) version on the web is just Chat GPT4, so that’s familiar enough. The integration with 365 applications is really what grabs me. Stuff like tossing it 10 spreadsheets and asking it to analyze and compare the data, having a virtual assistant to remind me of upcoming actionables, and summarizing a meeting when I zone out - it all sounds really handy.

I met with Microsoft last week and they’re down for giving me a 90 day trial if I want to take it for a spin. Any thoughts or suggestions? I ideally want to determine if this will improve productivity for my end users enough to be worth the insane cost of $30/user/mo.

    One thing you should know is that there is an up-and-coming moment among hackers to use co-pilot to deliver/execute virus payloads.

      You’re talking about Copilot on the Web. My post is about Copilot for 365, which only touches internal data and has no access to the web.

        I was referring to the one that comes forcibility installed in W11.

            They’ve been forcing people to update, thankfully W11’s forced AI bullshit makes it require quite a few gigs to install, so if your drive is limited on space you can just flat out prevent them from forcing the update onto you.
