Microsoft has revealed that Copilot will cost organisations $30 per user per month.

The generative AI tool will be available for users with Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium users when it hits general availability.

Microsoft talked up Copilot’s potential when announcing the pricing during its Microsoft Inspire event.

While some generative AI apps focus on a single capability, like real-time transcription or copywriting, Microsoft 365 Copilot puts thousands of skills at your command,” Microsoft said/

“By grounding answers in business data like your documents, emails, calendar, chats, meetings and contacts, and combining them with your working context – the meeting you’re in now, the emails you’ve exchanged on a topic, the chats you had last week – Copilot delivers richer, more relevant and more actionable responses to your questions.”

Copilot’s launch has been highly anticipated since first being shown by Microsoft earlier this year.

Copilot will be integrated across the Microsoft 365 portfolio, including with the likes of Word Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

Microsoft Sales Copilot

Microsoft is enhancing its Dynamics 365 Sales platform with new features to equip sellers with a wider range of tools. The latest additions to Microsoft Sales Copilot within Dynamics 365 Sales include an AI-generated opportunity summary, contextualized email drafts, and meeting preparations.

These enhancements aim to empower sellers by boosting productivity and enabling them to close more deals through CRM task automation. The functionalities also offer real-time insights and AI-assisted content and recommendations, facilitating personalized customer interactions on a larger scale.

These capabilities complement the existing AI features in Microsoft Sales Copilot, which include Teams call summaries and email thread summaries.

This expansion builds upon the introduction of Viva Sales in June 2022, which initiated Microsoft’s efforts to revolutionise the seller experience. The integration of these capabilities into Sales Copilot further enhances the platform’s capabilities. For more information, you can read about Microsoft Sales Copilot.

Privacy and Security

Microsoft said Copilot is built on its existing approach to security, privacy, identity, compliance, and responsible AI. The platform ensures seamless integration with existing Microsoft 365 policies for security, privacy, identity, and compliance. Data remains under the enterprise’s control and is “logically isolated and protected” within their Microsoft 365 tenant, Microsoft said.

At the tenant level, Copilot respects individual and group permission policies, granting appropriate access to authorized personnel.

The platform’s foundation lies in the Microsoft Graph, encompassing business data such as emails, calendars, chats, and documents. This integration allows Copilot to generate updates based on morning meetings, emails, and chats, provide project insights from previous weeks, or even create SWOT analyses using both internal files and web-based data.
