The Copilot Comeback: Why 2026 Is Time To Use Your License

Remember when we thought Microsoft Copilot was just a "glorified file manager"? Well, things have changed in 2025.

In this episode, host Maryrose Lyons is joined by the AI Institute's Head of Course Development, Emma Marlow, to discuss why the team has gone from "bearish to bullish" on Copilot. If you have a license sitting unused because the early versions felt clunky or uncreative, this is the episode that will change your mind.

Emma breaks down the "game-changing" new features that have turned Copilot into a genuine productivity powerhouse—from the integration of ChatGPT-5 to the magic of "Ask Agent" in M365 . plus, we geek out on the "no-code" potential of Copilot Studio and share exclusive insights on what’s coming in 2026 (spoiler: it involves Claude).

In this episode, we cover:

Security First: Why Copilot wins on data privacy and the "redact, redact, redact" fatigue of other LLMs.
The "Ask Agent" Feature: How to bring your custom agents directly into Word and Excel to analyze your documents.
Copilot Studio: Why this "sandbox" is the hidden gem for building powerful workflows without writing code.
2026 Predictions: The scoop on Claude coming to Azure and why your PowerPoint deck might finally look good.
