What can you even do in the ms enterprise ecosystem with their copilot integration?

Is it just for chatting? Is it a glorified RAG?

Can you tell copilot co to create a presentation? Make a visualisation in a spreadsheet?

It wants to help create things in Office documents, I imagine just saving you the copy and paste from the app or web form. The one thing I tried to get it to do was to take a spreadsheet of employees and add a column with their office numbers (it has access to the company directory). The response was something like "here's how you would look up a office number, you're welcome!"

It is functional at RAG stuff on internal docs but definitely not good - not sure how much of this is Copilot vs corporate disarray and access controls.

It won't send emails for me (which I would think is the agentic mvp) but that is likely a switch my organization daren't turn on.

Tldr it's valuable as a normal LLM, very limited as a add-on to Microsoft's software ecosystem.

Chatting and everything you normally do in chats is there. needle hunting info out of all my Teams group chats is probably my favorite thing. It can retrieve info out of sharepoint I guess.

Biggest complaint for me personally is that you run out of context very quickly. If you are used to having longer running chats on other platforms you won't be happy when Copilot tells you to make a new chat like 5 messages in.

For most of my clients they are only interested in meeting minutes and otter does that for 25% of the price. I think in any given business the qty of people who actually use textgen regularly is pretty low. My workplace is looking to downsize licenses and asking people to use it or lose it because $21/user/mo is too much to have as a every now and then novelty.

It's basically clippy without the funny animations.
