In this episode, we dive deep into Microsoft 365 Copilot - the enterprise-grade AI assistant built specifically for business environments. We'll explain how it differs from consumer AI like ChatGPT, discuss its licensing options (from the $30/user/month model to consumption-based alternatives), and clarify common misconceptions.
We'll also demystify the relationship between AI assistants and the large language models powering them. You'll learn how Microsoft 365 Copilot leverages GPT-4o but enhances it with proprietary orchestration, enterprise-grade security, and seamless integration with your Microsoft 365 data and workflows.
Finally, we'll explore the extensibility options that allow Copilot customers to create custom agents tailored to specific business scenarios.
