What are your thoughts on Microsoft Copilot? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Copilot sounds amazing on paper. The free (to 365 subs) version on the web is just Chat GPT4, so that's familiar enough. The integration with 365 applications is really what grabs me. Stuff like tossing it 10 spreadsheets and asking it to analyze and compare the data, having a virtual assistant to remind me of upcoming actionables, and summarizing a meeting when I zone out - it all sounds really handy.

I met with Microsoft last week and they're down for giving me a 90 day trial if I want to take it for a spin. Any thoughts or suggestions? I ideally want to determine if this will improve productivity for my end users enough to be worth the insane cost of $30/user/mo.

From the other comments, it sounds meh right now, but I've always been impressed by the speed at which OpenAI improves their product so, with their tight partnership to MS, it might not be long before it's something special. Maybe wait 6 months to use your 90 day trial. I'm most interesting in what it can do for Power BIs Q&A functionality.

Copilot is way behind on chatgpt though - I guess they don't want to throw the compute power necessary to leverage the full models - that could change any day I guess.
