How to remove Copilot from showing up on web-based apps?
Hello, I predominantly use Outlook through the website via Chrome. I also use OneDrive, Excel, and Word through Chrome quite often. I had a tech person walk me through removing Copilot from my computer's apps - the actual programs - but it's still showing up on my website uses. I do not support AI, AI is absolute trash, and I want Copilot completely eliminated from everything I use. I am tired of having to close the Copilot 'summary' that automatically pops up at the top of all my emails. Is there an easy way to completely eliminate this, or am I doomed? Thank you!
How to join Frontier early access?
In the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/03/25/introducing-researcher-and-analyst-in-microsoft-365-copilot/ article, it states: Researcher and Analyst will start rolling out to customers with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in April as part of a new “Frontier” program that gives customers early access to new Copilot innovations while they’re still in development. How can a company or individual enroll in the "Frontier" program?
Copilot not creating new documents
Hi I'm hoping someone can help. My company has just invested in Copilot for my team on my request and some of the functions it purports to have don't seem to work. When I ask it to create new word documents from a template, it tells me it is generating the documents but never actually does. Similarly, when I ask it to copy information from a word document and paste it into a spreadsheet, it tells me it has done it but hasn't. Has anyone else experienced this or know a fix for it? If it can't actually do this and create one document based on another document then its usefulness to me is vastly reduced. ThanksWhat the hack is a "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat"?
I am taking a training course on learn.microsoft and this word "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat" just came out of nowhere... I went few slides/pages of the training course and even googled it but there is no definition or clarification of it either sigh... What is thatNew!

Hi Copilot Brain Trust, Looking for some real-world experiences with Microsoft 365 Copilot DLP enforcement. We've implemented a DLP policy targeting the Microsoft 365 Copilot location with the action to prevent Copilot from processing content that contains our sensitivity label (restricted). The implementation is based on the following Microsoft documentation: DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-microsoft365-copilot-location-learn-about Create DLP policies for Microsoft 365 Copilot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-microsoft365-copilot Microsoft documentation states that when a DLP policy blocks Copilot processing, protected content should not be processed or used in Copilot-generated responses (although citations may still appear). However, during testing we're observing scenarios where Copilot appears to access/process provide restricted snippet with file names from content that should be protected by the DLP policy. A few questions for anyone who has implemented this in production: Have you successfully validated DLP policies preventing Copilot from summarising sensitivity-labelled content? Are there any known delays between policy deployment and enforcement? Have you observed differences between Copilot Chat and Copilot experiences within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint? Are there any prerequisites, limitations, or known issues not currently reflected in the public documentation? I'm interested to hear whether others have seen similar behaviour or have successfully validated this scenario end-to-end. Thanks in advance.
Copilot in Edge needs direct export integration
While using Copilot in Microsoft Edge, I noticed a key limitation: there is no option to directly save or export text snippets or summaries to OneDrive, Word, or OneNote. Users must copy manually, which breaks the reading flow and reduces productivity. Competitor comparison: Claude → PDF export, integration with Notion and Drive ChatGPT → PDF/DOCX export, integration with Google Drive Gemini → Automatic export, integration with Google Drive Copilot (Edge) → Only copy/paste or browser PDF, no native integration
Proposal for a Unified Copilot Architecture and Tiered AI Assistant Model
Submitted by: Craig D. Evans Detroit, Michigan Executive Summary This proposal outlines a strategic redesign of Microsoft Copilot that transforms it from a collection of isolated chat instances into a unified, persistent, account based artificial intelligence assistant. The proposed architecture positions Copilot as the central intelligence that operates all Microsoft Office applications, maintains long term memory, and follows the user across all devices. This model introduces a tiered pricing structure that creates a scalable revenue engine while strengthening Microsoft’s long term dominance in productivity software. The proposal also introduces the concept of a dual AI verification system, in which Copilot performs tasks and a secondary model provides independent review. This structure increases reliability, reduces errors, and enhances user trust. Problem Statement The current Copilot experience is fragmented. Each application instance behaves as a separate assistant with limited continuity, limited memory, and limited cross application intelligence. Users must repeatedly re explain context, re establish preferences, and manually coordinate tasks across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and other Microsoft 365 applications. This fragmentation reduces efficiency, increases cognitive load, and prevents Copilot from functioning as a true personal assistant. It also limits Microsoft’s ability to monetize Copilot at scale, because the product does not yet offer a unified, persistent experience that users would be willing to subscribe to at higher tiers. Vision The vision is a single, persistent Copilot identity that the user logs into, similar to any modern online service. This identity follows the user across all devices and applications, retaining memory, preferences, formatting rules, workflows, and ongoing projects. In this model, Copilot becomes the central intelligence that operates the Microsoft Office ecosystem. Office applications become the tools, and Copilot becomes the operator. This transformation elevates Copilot from a chatbot to a long term digital assistant that remains with the user for decades. Functional Overview 1. Persistent Copilot Identity A single Copilot account that retains: Long term memory User preferences Formatting rules Writing style Project context Cross application workflows Templates and document structures This identity behaves like any other modern login system, such as Amazon, Walmart, or email services. 2. Copilot as the Central Intelligence of Office Copilot should be capable of: Opening and managing Word documents Applying templates and formatting Building PowerPoint presentations Managing Excel formulas and data structures Organizing files and directories Coordinating tasks across applications Executing workflows on behalf of the user Office becomes the body. Copilot becomes the brain. 3. Cross Device Continuity The user logs into Copilot once, and the assistant follows the user across: Desktop Laptop Mobile Web Cloud environments This creates a seamless, continuous experience. Tiered Pricing Model A tiered structure creates a scalable revenue engine and aligns with Microsoft’s existing subscription model. Tier 1: Free Copilot Basic chat No memory No continuity Limited functionality This tier serves as the entry point that encourages users to upgrade. Tier 2: Copilot with Memory and Formatting Persistent memory Document formatting intelligence Writing style retention Basic cross application awareness This tier provides immediate value and will attract a large user base. Tier 3: Cross Device Copilot Identity Full continuity across devices Unified assistant experience Project level intelligence Long term context retention This tier becomes the premium personal assistant model. Tier 4: Copilot as Full Office Manager Complete control of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook Workflow automation File management Multi application coordination Enterprise grade productivity This tier becomes the flagship offering for professionals and businesses. Optional Tier: Dual AI Verification (Copilot + Reviewer Model) Copilot performs tasks. A secondary model independently reviews output for: Accuracy Formatting Logic Consistency This reduces errors and increases trust. It becomes a high value premium tier. Competitive Advantage This architecture provides Microsoft with several strategic advantages: A unified assistant that no competitor currently offers A multi tier revenue structure that scales with user needs A long term relationship between user and assistant Increased adoption of Microsoft 365 subscriptions Strong differentiation from competing AI products Reduced user churn due to persistent memory and continuity This model positions Microsoft as the leader in personal and professional AI assistance. Long Term Strategic Value A persistent Copilot identity ensures that users remain within the Microsoft ecosystem for decades. As the assistant accumulates memory, preferences, and workflows, the cost of switching to another platform becomes extremely high. This creates: Long term subscription stability Increased enterprise adoption Stronger user loyalty A durable competitive moat Copilot becomes not only a feature, but a lifelong digital partner. Closing Statement I respectfully submit this proposal as a long time user who believes that Microsoft has the opportunity to define the future of personal and professional artificial intelligence. A unified Copilot identity, combined with a tiered pricing model and a dual AI verification system, will create a powerful, scalable, and enduring platform that strengthens Microsoft’s leadership in productivity software.
