Hi Right now Microsoft 365 Copilot price has been announced. I have checked the price list. Part SKU August has not yet been released. I am not sure when and date the list will be announced. https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/07/18/furthering-our-ai-ambitions-announcing-bing-chat-enterprise-and-microsoft-365-copilot-pricing/Introducing Microsoft Security Copilot: end-to-end defense at the speed of AI
Today the odds remain stacked against cybersecurity professionals. Too often, they fight an asymmetric battle against prolific, relentless and sophisticated attackers. The volume and velocity of attacks requires us to continually create new technologies that can tip the scales in favor of defenders. In the last few months, the world has witnessed a wave of innovation as organizations apply advanced AI to new technologies and use cases. We are ready for a paradigm shift and taking a massive leap forward by combining Microsoft’s leading security technologies with the latest advancements in AI. At our inaugural Microsoft Secure event , we are delighted to welcome you to the new era of security—shaped by the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI—and excited to introduce to you Microsoft Security Copilot . Microsoft Security Copilot is the first security product to enable defenders to move at the speed and scale of AI. Security Copilot combines this advanced OpenAI large language model (LLM) with a security-specific model from Microsoft. This security-specific model in turn incorporates a growing set of security-specific skills and is informed by Microsoft’s unique global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals. Security Copilot also delivers an enterprise-grade security and privacy-compliant experience as it runs on Azure’s hyperscale infrastructure. To be ready to take advantage of these upcoming Security Copilot capabilities, adopting and deploying Microsoft’s XDR + SIEM solution is the best way. There is no change to our existing commitments to enterprise data security and privacy with this new product. And we’ve built Security Copilot with security teams in mind—your data is always your data and stays within your control. It is not used to train the foundation AI models, and in fact, it is protected by the most comprehensive enterprise compliance and security controls. While remaining private, each user interaction can be easily shared with other team members to accelerate incident response, collaborate more effectively on complex problems, and develop collective skills. To achieve their highest potential, security AI solutions must be delivered in a safe, secure and responsible way . With Security Copilot, we reinforce our commitment to impactful and responsible AI practices by innovating responsibly, empowering others and fostering positive impact.

Next-Generation AI in Power Apps, Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents, and AI Builder Power Apps launches next-generation copilot for app makers and users Copilot in Power Apps enables makers to easily create apps from natural language, will quickly develop a functioning application, and provides proactive recommendations for how you can improve the app as you continue to build it. Additionally, with the copilot control in Power Apps, makers can include copilot capability in their own apps giving their users the ability to get intelligent insights and analytics about the data in the app through a conversational chat experience. Finally, Power Apps is also adding the ability to natively integrate Power Virtual Agent chatbots into apps.

Power Automate enhances natural language to flow, introducing a new copilot With Copilot in Power Automate cloud flow studio, flow authors will soon be able to accelerate the creation of their flows to minutes using the existing natural language to cloud flow capability to describe the flow they want to build and then use an in-studio copilot to refine it, again using natural language to create complex flows that include summarizing text with Azure OpenAI GPT. This opens up a new category of makers to the possibilities of automating business processes with Power Automate. Learn more about Copilot in Power Automate here. Power Virtual Agents expands generative AI offering with new copilot Today, Power Virtual Agents is launching an in-product copilot that helps makers quickly create bots and refine topics using natural language. This streamlines the bot and topic development process, meaning makers can spin up a high-value bot in minutes. On March 6, Power Virtual Agents released its first GPT-backed feature, conversation boosters. This allows makers to connect their bot to their most current and useful data sources, like company websites, to answer questions in minutes, right out of the box, with no additional authoring.

Create text with new generation AI in AI Builder On March 6, AI Builder announced the new Azure OpenAI pre-built model for Power Apps and Power Automate.

Microsoft’s putting those principles and learnings into practice every day as they reinvent productivity with AI. Microsoft is committed to ensuring AI is responsibly designed and built with a solid foundation of safety, security, and privacy. In addition to the Power Platform announcements today, Microsoft is also highlighting strong usage numbers of the previously announced AI capabilities which you can share with your customers.

Missing Cusotmer in Partner Portal
Dear All, Hope fine and doign well. This is my First Post in our Microsoft Community , * We are a Microsoft Partner and based on our marketing we got a client and kicked off the work . * And we would like to update in our Microsoft Partner Portal and we see missing "Customer" Option in the Portal . Can any one please help us on thisExternal Users Licencing for D365.
Hi all, For a customer of us, we need to make a choice between : 1. Power Pages (which licensing is very clear) and accessing, but with low customization capabilities 2. Or a specific website connected to Dynamics365, with high customization capabilies, but with quite confused rules for licensing. The Dynamics 365 licensing guide, in the "Additional Licensing Requirements" paragraph, says : "External user access is available in limited situations to customers and third parties who interact with your organization or its affiliates (that is, separate companies or contractors). Off-site vendors who are not in employee-like relationships (such as IT help desk vendors who serve multiple organizations) also qualify as external users. These external users do not require user licenses to access Dynamics 365. Limited external user access is included with your internal user licenses. However, the graphical interfaces for Business Central, Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service may not be accessed by external users. The document does not explicitly show the limits an external user can face accessing data in Dynamics 365 ? Can you help about licensing rules in that context ? Thank you ! Laurent.Introducing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Copilot – the world’s first AI copilot for both CRM and ERP
