Looking at https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/partnership/partner-benefits-packages-benefits#tab-1 it says that Partner Launch benefits include "Microsoft 365 Business Premium - includes Copilot". I took this to mean I didn't need to buy Copilot separately to work in 365 Apps like Word. However, on trying to use it this way, it seems that the Copilot referred to here is just Copilot chat with no integration with Word, SharePoint, etc. which is pretty much available for free anyway. I raised a ticket with Partner Support (2507150010000100) and they said that Copilot functionality within 365 apps is not included. Even Copilot chat itself gives confused answers. When I ask it "Explain the Copilot inclusions (if any) in Microsoft Partner Launch. Does it include Copilot to generate content in Microsoft Word?" It says: Yes, the Microsoft Partner Launch includes Copilot capabilities, and Copilot is available for generating content in Microsoft Word. Here’s a breakdown of the key inclusions: ✅ Copilot in Microsoft Word Microsoft Copilot is now integrated into Word for both consumer and commercial users. It can: Generate polished documents from prompts (e.g., recipes, reports, letters). Assist with rewriting, summarizing, and formatting. Help brainstorm and structure content based on user input I suggest that Microsoft clarifies what "Microsoft 365 ... includes Copilot" means on pages like the linked one above to avoid others being confused like me (and Copilot chat!)

Voice your company's thoughts on what features and capabilities would help your company whether you're considering a custom Copilot or have already built one. Complete this survey (~5 mins) by EOD 11/22 to influence the roadmap.

We'd like to experiment and learn more
We have developed a chat based service desk application that integrates with MS Teams, leverages a lot of services via Azure Open AI, and routes to service desk agents (https://www.chimev5.com/). We also have a lot of customers who are starting to explore, and deploy, Copilot and Copilot Pro. We imagine that we may want to integrate with Copilot Pro and we'd like to deploy an internal instance, connect with some data providers, and generally consider integration avenues. Is Copilot Pro an available benefit as part of the MS Partner program? ThanksPartners - let's share ideas on Copilot! Event in Dallas and Virtually, June 27
