These are some great updates. For the update "Adding agents in Copilot Chat" - Users can now add the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint agents directly into their Copilot Chat prompt. For this to work, does Anthropic models have to be turned on? Our organization has Anthropic turned off. I tried this on August 1 and did not see Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. I do have an M365 Copilot Premium license (paid license).
