We made a blog announcement here: on the NEW AI products coming to our US Government clouds. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azuregov/ai-solutions-for-us-government/ NET: Copilot for Microsoft 365 Government GCC will be coming starting Summer 2024, and we'll share more on GCC High and DOD environments early 2024.

Welcome aboard! I'd suggest reviewing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/microsoft-365-copilot for some examples of ways customers are using Copilot today. For licensed users of Copilot I'd also suggest using Copilot Lab, which has an extensive collection of example prompts that work well across the Microsoft 365 Copilot universe.
