Microsoft Launches Copilot for All Initiative

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat app is the free to use chat app available to commercial Microsoft 365 customers. The free chat app now supports Copilot agents, including agents that are grounded against Graph data (on a pay-as-you-go metered basis). The free chat app is highly functional and Microsoft hopes that it will convince customers to buy the full-fledged Copilot.

    So, it's certainly been my impression that MS does NOT have any Copilot for ALL initiative. Quite the opposite. Those who have a normal-citizen personal 365 account get stuck with a far inferior version of 365 Copilot than those with a business/work account. As if somehow those with a mere personal account aren't worthy or have need for the more advanced 365 Copilot. The economic AI divide starts at Microsoft. It's a slap on the face for a loyal MS customer like me, and deeply offensive for MS to assume that I have no need or intellect to make use of the higher spec'd 365 Copilot.

    And to add insult to injury, I'm a paid $20/mo. Copilot Pro subscriber, and I get NO access to Copilot Studio. Why would a pleb like me want to make an agent?
