Got access to it only last week but I am hugely underwhelmed.

For one, it cannot even complete a Word memo for me, it keeps crashing and saying it couldn't finish. This is basic text generation.

Secondly, when it gives you "updates from [person]", it looks at all documents that person has touched that you by chance have access to as well, not necessarily documents you are involved in. This means there is a clutter of info, but also that it would require you to have full control and transparency around your Sharepoint access rights.....

And don't get me started on the bad Powerpoints it creates... 

The idea is there, this might become the thing. But right now it is vastly overpriced imho.

Still M365 Copilot is at nascent stage.  Pricing is not clear. It is impossible to calculate TCO as of now.  No clear value add & ROI.

I’m reaching out to connect with peers in State K-12 education agencies who have developed home-grown solutions for assigning and managing Unique Student Identifiers (UIDs)—particularly for enrollment tracking and state/federal reporting. If your organization has implemented an in-house system for student ID management, I’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience.

I see CoPilot as building more efficiency into using Office365 toolset, is this a valid assumption? What are people's experiences in terms of the value of CoPilot?
