Is Co Pilot Pro available as a benefit for partners? We'd like to experiment and learn more

We have developed a chat based service desk application that integrates with MS Teams, leverages a lot of services via Azure Open AI, and routes to service desk agents (https://www.chimev5.com/).  We also have a lot of customers who are starting to explore, and deploy, Copilot and Copilot Pro. 

We imagine that we may want to integrate with Copilot Pro and we'd like to deploy an internal instance, connect with some data providers, and generally consider integration avenues.

 

Is Copilot Pro an available benefit as part of the MS Partner program?

 

Thanks

    In the Partner Program Benefits Guide you can see which licenses/services are available for partners as benefits. With the newly released Partner Benefits packages, as well as the Designation and Specialization benefits, you get Copilot included in the M365 licenses. 

     

    But note; this is just Copilot, the free version that is included in the partner benefits. 

    Copilot Pro is not a business product, this can only be purchased for personal/family licenses (so it can't be used by companies, or in your setup). 

    Copilot for Microsoft 365 is of course purchasable for partners and customers, but it is not available as partner benefits. 

     

    So in short; no Copilot Pro of Copilot for Microsoft 365 are not included in any partner benefits packages at this moment. 

     

    Cheers,

    Martijn

      Now that's an answer, Thanks Martijn!
  • Hi PeytonMcM 

     

    Thank you for posting to the community!:smile:

     

    I don't manage a MW community, so since your question relates to Copilot Pro (which is a part of Modern Works/MW), I'm going to move this post over to the BizApps community since it's used for a "catch all" community.

      Hi LicensingConcierge1 

       

      Looks like the original question is related to: Is Copilot available as a benefit (free /low-cost) for the Microsoft Partners?

      This does not answer the initital question if there is a Free/Low Cost way of using Copilot for Microsoft 365 where the RRP is around $50/month for partners to use and show customers...
