(Third time posting this as both previous attempts mysteriously vanished with no reason/explanation given. So this time it's just the TL;DR from the removed posts. If it survives, I'll add more commentary.)Copilot Chat vsus. Microsoft 365 Copilot What's the difference?
While their names sound similar at first glance - Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat - they differ in several aspects. And more importantly, one can't be without another. What is Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat? First since first. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is also called Copilot Chat. Copilot Chat generates answers based on web content, while Microsoft 365 Copilot is also grounded on users' data, like emails, meetings, files, and more. Since January 15, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is available for everyone. Everyone in organizations. Also customers with a Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscriptions can enjoy using Copilot Chat securily. The screenshot below shows how Copilot Chat looks like and highlights its main capabilities. Note that EDP - Enterprise Data Protection is available. What is Microsoft 365 Copilot? Microsoft 365 Copilot is an add-on available for specific Microsoft 365 Subscriptions: Microsoft 365 E3, E5, A3, A5, and Business Standard & Premium.

Copilot Chat can be pinned in MS Teams and MS Outlook as App. How can I access Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat? Copilot Chat is nowadays accessible via m365copilot.com using your Entra account. In contrast to Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat users cannot see, by default, Copilot Chat pinned on the Microsoft 365 homepage. Microsoft 365 Copilot Administrators will have to pin the chat in the admin center so it is easy for Copilot Chat users to access it. What's the difference? There are some aspects, such as licensing requirements, subscription fees, data sources, or access to organization content, that determine the differences between Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot. I have listed it in the screenshot below. 👇 Image showing a 3-column table: Aspect, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
CoPilot Agents - Word Tables
Hi, We have been trying to create a CoPilot agent within the business that can read data in a referenced folder within SharePoint and output a summary. Now the prompt I'm using works perfectly when using the "Researcher" agent within CoPilot, but when I use it in the agent the output is very different. For added context. I have made a SharePoint site which has a folder for each project and then all the docs relating to that project within. The user says to the agent, "give me a project overview for QXXXX", what should happen is, the agent finds that folder, which it's seemingly doing and it provides all the info in the layout I've mentioned in the prompt. So it can find the right folder, and it gives a good overview of the project. But any information that's within a table in word, it doesn't retrieve, I've even told it what document has the content in the table it should be bringing back and it says it can't read tables in Word. When I've researched this it seems to be the way CoPilot interprets the data is different depending whether you upload the file or just reference it like my agent is doing. Then in Researcher alternatively, I copy and paste the prompt into the text box, attach cloud files and select the project folder and the output is perfect. It retrieves all the content, dates etc and it's exactly what we need. My aim was to make an agent that can do the same but doesn't require the user to attach the folder, they can just give it the project number and it does it's thing. I'm still pretty new to agents, and appreciate it's still slightly new, but it doesn't feel like it should be doing that. Would anyone with some expertise in agents be able to assist in me fixing this? And if possible, be available via email for me to ask some further questions? Happy to provide any further information if needed. ThanksIncomplete ansers in code boxes
Lately, Copilot gives me more an more incomplete one line commands in code boxes. I often get an empty code box as well. When telling copilot to fix this, the next answer will contain the complete and correct commands. I would expect copilot not to make such errors. I usually tell copilot to check the ansers before presenting to me. My prompting is surely not perfect, but it seems to me that this is more a cache or buffer problem. Anyone has experienced similar issues? Is there a solution? Examples: I get blockdev --getsize64 the correct answer would be blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3 copilot corrects this when I tell it to check it's output. Another example, I get: xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc Correct answer would be xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home Another one: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/dr Correct would be: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3Agent «Workflows (Frontier)» is not available - one solution
Perhaps this solution, which I developed together with Microsoft 365 Copilot GTP-5.2 Deep Analysis, will help someone else. All the usual solutions failed. Link to the support documents. The Edge browser has a developer mode. That was the right solution. English: «Workflows is not available Something went wrong. Contact your administrator to keep your environment up to date before using this agent. Environment ID: Default-XXXXXXXXXXX»What’s new in Copilot Chat quality roadmap — December
