Copilot Products: Breakdown

We've seen a lot of copilot demos in the last couple of days: here's what the products are and what they do: 

1. Microsoft Copilot: Formerly Bing chat has access to the internet but not your email or calendar

2. Microsoft 365 Copilot: Everything in MS copilot plus access your 365 email, calendar, etc.

3. Microsoft CoPilot Studio: low code interface to customize virtual power agents that enable customization of your AI

 

Community and Microsoft team- please add or correct!

    Thanks for spelling this out, Ravileen! The fact that this wasn't more clearly spelled out during the summit was one of my only frustrations.

    Great summary Ravileen.

     

    I would add that Microsoft Copilot is available for free as part of most Microsoft 365 subscriptions and can be accessed at https://copilot.microsoft.com/ or in the Edge browser. Importantly, make sure you log in with your work or school account so that your data is protected.

     

    While the other options will have access to your Microsoft 365 data and apps, they will require additional licencing.

      MattBurr when you log into copilot, are you also seeing that it's logged in, but still prompting you to sign-in. I'm trying to determine if it's a design issue in Copilot or just an issue for our org.

        Hi Eric_Couper 

         

        Yes, when logged in it displays your email and org name...

         

        Otherwise, it looks like this...

         

         

        Hope that helps.

    I loved seeing the demos of copilot for how to protect sensitive data
