FinOps For CoPilot and Agentic AI. FinOps for M365
Hi, any ideas on how to build an adaptive billing and charge back model for Copilot and Agentic AI. Where do I build a billing model for each user and assign to a department. Where do I retrieve the cost and message consumption data

About which costs are you talking? Copilot Studio Agents, Agents on SharePoint or something different?
Copilot Studio Agents especially. However having sight of all Agents, their creators and consumers, Message Consumption and additional costs is the end goal
For Copilot Studio agents, it depends on what they are designed to do. Some can be used at no cost, while others may become quite expensive. Many of your questions may be answered in the Copilot Studio Licensing Guide, which is available here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2320995
Currently, Microsoft is planning to release a new governance and administration feature for agents in Copilot Studio on July 14. This update will include spending limits and cost management capabilities.
If you have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and the associated Message Center notifications, be sure to check there for more detailed information.
Message center - Microsoft 365 admin center
After enabling the Copilot Cost Analytics dashboard in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, you can set the cost alert threshold by navigating to Cost Management > AI Service Monitoring Usage and using the Set-M365CopilotPolicy -CostAlertThreshold command.
This is an AI answer, right? Are you talking about a PowerShell CMDlet Set-M365CopilotPolicy?
If yes - such a CMDlet does not exist. Stop using AI to answer Forum questions if you have no idea about the product/service.
