It’s available everywhere at this point. My team has the license to have copilot in every main office app, the teams that don’t still have the generic web version. There are AI chat bots for various things with some stupid brain related name. There are a couple things we’ve done with an LLM that have actual business use cases that benefited an automated process (sorry, have to be vague). Another, not Microsoft, product we use is advertising their AI features all the time, which as a side note feels incredibly unprofessional for enterprise type software, if it was up to me I’d find an alternative over that alone. Another cloud database service also has a brain themed chat bot.

What my job doesn’t do is force anyone to use it ever (outside of the people that had to set it up). I use copilot in Microsoft teams, as it can pull from emails and chats to answer questions specific to my job: generic stuff like fluffing up a peer/self review, helping me find a conversation that I only vaguely remember, finding emails when outlooks search decides to be shit. Since it’s my work device with my work data I’m not concerned about my privacy so that’s actually useful to me. I’ve played around with the word and excel copilots but they’re terrible. Word can help you build a doc but if i open a doc copilot tells me it can’t actually edit anything in the doc. So what is it for, generic questions? Then excels can physically do things but it gets it very wrong for me. I was almost even excited for it because I thought, maybe I could say something like “Hey copilot, take this sheet, put it into a pivot table, use X for columns and Y for rows” and it would do it for me, rather than me taking those steps. But it doesn’t work so I stopped trying after a few attempts at getting it to be useful.
