In this episode, Ben and Zach explore what it’s really like to use M365 Copilot in practice. They break down how it compares to Copilot Chat, where it fits into daily workflows, and what you actually get for your $30 per month.
They cover:
The difference between M365 Copilot and Copilot Chat
Licensing, data protection, and value for money
How Copilot works across Teams, Word, Excel, Outlook, and Loop
Tips for better prompts by being clear about your goal, context, and expectations
New features like Memory and Custom Instructions
The rise of Agents and how to build your own with Copilot Studio
Integrations with tools like Jira and Confluence
A look at Notebooks and Pages for more persistent, project-based Copilot use
It’s a grounded, honest take on what Copilot can and can’t do today, with a few wishlist items thrown in for good measure.
Whether you're testing Copilot now or just trying to make sense of the hype, this episode gives you a practical lens on where it fits in the M365 ecosystem.
