Greg Taieb · · 2 min read

Since its announcement, Copilot, the AI ​​application integrated into Microsoft 365, has generated considerable enthusiasm due to the concrete benefits it promises to bring. This new feature will integrate Open AI technologies into applications such as Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams.

#104 - How Microsoft Copilot will change the way you work
Hello, I hope you are well. Very AI-focused news this week but what do you expect, what's happening right now is so huge and it's going to have such impacts so quickly that it's just hard to imagine. So I try

After several weeks of testing with selected customers, Copilot is preparing to radically change the way we work by automatically writing emails, meeting minutes and call reports. In addition, Copilot will be able to analyze Excel files and write PowerPoint presentations, which represents a real revolution!

For the moment, only a few hundred privileged customers use Copilot, but eventually, this functionality will be available as an option to all Microsoft 365 subscribers.

However, like all new features, Copilot has a cost that risks making many CIOs cringe. In fact, activating this feature represents an additional $30/month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium users. In comparison, a 365 license costs around €36/month/user.

Despite this cost, I am convinced that Copilot is worth it. By simply calculating your hourly rate (annual pay/number of days worked/8 hours), you will realize that Copilot can save you hours each month. No more meeting minutes that take you around 1 hour/meeting between taking notes, formatting and sending.

No more dozens of emails to read when you return from vacation, thanks to Copilot, you will have a summary. No more blank paper when you start a document or PowerPoint presentation.

I am convinced that adopting Copilot can save you between 1 and 2 days of work per month, making it a profitable investment for many organizations. It is essential that users are properly trained and engaged to get the most out of this technology that will revolutionize the way we work.

With Copilot at your side, prepare for unprecedented productivity and automated tasks that will free up your time to focus on more strategic projects.
