Former Employee

In case you missed the live stream event, the Microsoft 365 team announced a new product, Copilot. 

 

Copilot is a powerful new productivity tool that, "Combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps."

This is excited news! How do customers and partners get access?

@cm_ai,

 

According to FAQ #5 in the article, admins will be provided, "With an advance notice and all necessary technical information prior to any of these new features becoming available..." So, stay tuned!

 

Thanks,

Hi @Meenah_Khosraw,

Is Copilot already or will it be available for Microsoft 365 Insider user (not business) ?

@Meenah_Khosraw this is indeed very exciting news. When do you think the launch for businesses is expected? 

Also, other than the Microsoft blogs and this forum, what are the other ways of keeping myself up-to-date on the latest coming to O365?

Tentatively, by when would we (Insiders) would be able to gain access to these features? We have few Business Use Cases which we planned to try out with this! Looking forward!

Excited & Looking forward!

On the blog's comment thread, Yana from the product team stated that Microsoft 365 is foundational to being AI ready. Microsoft 365 E3/E5 (and Microsoft 365 Business Standard / Business Premium) will be a licensing requirement for these AI capabilities in the future. Pricing and licensing details will be announced in the coming months.

Right now, Microsoft 365 Copilot is only available in a very limited Private Preview program. As soon as it is available to broader population, an announcement will be made.
