Hi Amanda,

Thanks for the reply. I need some additional advice. Currently, I use Straico, a central hub with all AI models. Here, I use the chat function, add web pages, YouTube links, and files. I create content, make summaries, and more. Additionally, I use my AI assistant Voilà AI as a desktop app, mobile app, and Edge extension to summarize, translate, and more on web pages. I purchased these tools with a lifetime deal on Appsumo, so I wonder if i really need a license for M365 Copilot...

What appeals to me most is the integration with all Microsoft apps and the AI agents I can create and train in Copilot Studio. I have already created some agents, but I have hit the limits because I don't have a license. The workflows I can build are also interesting, but I need an additional Power Automate license for that, right? That holds me back. I was thinking of basic workflows like generating content with an AI agent and saving it in a Word document in my OneDrive. Nothing spectacular, but if I need a Power Automate license for that too, then I might pass on Copilot.

So, I have a lot of doubts and questions, and I hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

Hello Mark,

Here some answers for you:

Power Automate licensing: If you are using standard connectors, you do not need a Power Automate license. Some capabilities that do require a license are RPA or levaraging models from the AI Hub. 

If you create agents that use flows with standard connectors, then you do not need any extra license.

 

I hope this helps.

    Hi Amelia,

    Thank you for your clear explanation. I only just realized that agents are not included in the M365 Copilot license but are included in the Copilot Studio license, which is a different type of license, and I was not aware of that.
