Microsoft 365 Copilot is poised to revolutionize the way we work, promising a future where the mundane is automated, and creativity reigns supreme. However, here’s the twist—while Microsoft 365 Copilot is out and creating ripples of excitement, you’re probably not able to use it just yet. Welcome to the world of premium exclusivity, where access is a privilege granted to the few.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is no ordinary software. It’s a premium service loaded with powerful AI features that boost productivity, simplify tasks, and transform the way you handle office documents. It can summarize documents, create emails, make plans from notes, and enhance Excel analysis, making work easier, more efficient, and creative.
Today’s launch marks a soft beginning for Microsoft’s ambitious plans to overhaul Office documents with the aid of AI-powered technology.
The catch: Exclusivity and minimum user requirement of Microsoft 365 Copilot
Here’s where things get a bit tricky. Microsoft 365 Copilot is not available to just anyone. Enterprise customers who wish to access this premium service must commit to a minimum of 300 users. This means that smaller businesses might have to wait a bit longer to enjoy its benefits.
Furthermore, the exclusivity extends to eligibility. Currently, only Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 commercial subscribers can access Copilot. This leaves out users of Office 365 plans and Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Business Premium subscribers.
It’s worth mentioning that certain parts of the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience are still in preview. Copilot for Excel, for example, is currently in a preview stage, and Copilot for OneNote is exclusive to Windows. The SharePoint Copilot preview is scheduled to commence in November, while a Copilot preview for OneDrive is expected to start in December.
The premium price tag
Being eligible is not enough. To get your hands on this innovative tool, you’ll need to be willing to invest in the future of your business. Microsoft 365 Copilot comes at a cost of $30 per user per month. This means $9,000 per/month.
While this may seem like a significant expense, the value it offers in terms of productivity gains and time savings is expected to be well worth the price.
The future beckons
Microsoft 365 Copilot shows Microsoft’s vision for the future of work. While not widely available yet, it gives us a peek at how AI assistants can change how we handle office documents. As it grows, it could revolutionize work, providing the support and innovation businesses need to thrive in the digital age.
So, while Copilot is creating buzz, it may take some time to fully use it. But rest assured, a more productive and efficient future is on the way, guided by AI technology.
