Copilot inclusion in Partner Launch benefits

Looking at https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/partnership/partner-benefits-packages-benefits#tab-1 it says that Partner Launch benefits include "Microsoft 365 Business Premium - includes Copilot".  I took this to mean I didn't need to buy Copilot separately to work in 365 Apps like Word.  However, on trying to use it this way, it seems that the Copilot referred to here is just Copilot chat with no integration with Word, SharePoint, etc. which is pretty much available for free anyway.

I raised a ticket with Partner Support (2507150010000100) and they said that Copilot functionality within 365 apps is not included.

Even Copilot chat itself gives confused answers.  When I ask it "Explain the Copilot inclusions (if any) in Microsoft Partner Launch.  Does it include Copilot to generate content in Microsoft Word?" It says:

Yes, the Microsoft Partner Launch includes Copilot capabilities, and Copilot is available for generating content in Microsoft Word.

Here’s a breakdown of the key inclusions:
✅ Copilot in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Copilot is now integrated into Word for both consumer and commercial users. It can:

Generate polished documents from prompts (e.g., recipes, reports, letters).

Assist with rewriting, summarizing, and formatting.

Help brainstorm and structure content based on user input

I suggest that Microsoft clarifies what "Microsoft 365 ... includes Copilot" means on pages like the linked one above to avoid others being confused like me (and Copilot chat!)

 

Thanks,

Clancy
