I recently stumbled upon this announcement of the long awaited Copilot Pro. I need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation this week so any capacity to use this for free would be tremendous. Thanks y'all!

I use Copilot fully integrated with Office 365 in my work, and was one of the beta testers back in November. Anecdotally, it’s no better than any other LLM, and I have found hallucinates significantly more than ChatGPT. The Office integration is useful and I do use it more than any other AI tool for its convenience being ‘inside’ of Excel / Outlook etc, but you aren’t missing much by not having it.

My goodness bro, have you gotten it to go anything like the promo videos? Word always says "I'm still learning", Copilot Chat will hit and miss finding files and documents, and any links from a response involving web searches are replaced with the text "An external link was removed to protect your privacy." The Edge sidebar Copilot now has my company logo and can no longer "see" what I'm browsing. Before my user was licensed the Edge Copilot sidebar was different, the free version I suppose, and could do much more, just not browse my corporate files.

Edit: For example; the Word demo video in this link under business can't be done. I have nearly this exact use case. I can get it to draft a proposal, with various results, based on a QuickBooks estimate, but the part where you then tell Copilot to modify the formatting isn't the same as the video, with a Copilot button in the same dialog window as the Keep It button. And when you then summon Copilot from the side bar, you can't even invoke the file reference action to make it change formatting and layout.

I'm convinced it'll be like power automate, that can't even automate the most basic of tasks outside of really super specific tasks buried deep within their software.

If Microsoft is good at anything, it's mediocrity.
