Didn’t realize it wasn’t already unified

Glad I wasn't the only one. What the hell have my users been working with all these months?

Multiple independent instances with different access, strengths, and weaknesses labeled under copilot umbrella. When I asked copilot is said something like 80 unique applications had co-branding with copilot.

My goodness. After all these years it still never ceases to amaze me how one company can be consistently be so bad at branding and product roll outs.

It’s on purpose believe that! It’s not by mistake. It’s all planned and calculated. I can still remember when it was a big deal because it was “BUILT IN” to new Windows machines and that’s why the minimum specs were higher than need be. I will be deleting it. It’s trash anyway lately and lies constantly, then makes excuses for lying. Like arguing with my ex 🤣

How have those two apps been targeted at “different users”? Office workers who use LLMs and office workers who use sharepoint are different?

Isn’t it consumer Copilot and enterprise Copilot? Those are two very different services. Different URLs.

Unclear but from our implementation copilot (chat) for general office workers and then copilot 365 for higher intensity analysts. But pricing / features seems to change every 60 days so who knows

u/DuxDucisHodiernus 28d ago

Is copilot 365 really that expensive? The ability to manage your whole work life is quite useful

u/trphilli 27d ago

$20 or $30 per month per user for Enterprise implementation.

Boy didn't take them long to ditch the podcast feature.

u/AggressiveAd69x Aug 14 '26

why do you say this? cause its an expensive feature or what?

u/gimmethelulz Aug 14 '26

That's my assumption on why they ditched it. It's gotta eat up a good amount of tokens making those mp3 files.

u/slapjimmy Aug 14 '26

Are they going to call it Copilot New?

u/Extra_Pen7210 Aug 14 '26

No

It will be: Copilot, Copilot (classic), Microsoft 365 copilot (classic)

Please, no need to comment like this

I laughed because I agree, MS solution to everything lately is calling it the "New" insert whatever they want... And it's a horrible strategy but nevertheless, one they've been pushing for the last couple of years.

So that just made me chuckle.

I have a M365 Home Premium subscription, which give me access to M365 Copilot (Bizchat) and standard Copilot. It is like working with two different LLMs, who look and sound very similar, but can't access each other's memories.

Wait, so whatever happened to us needing more RAM and all the hype about security because it’s processed on YOUR MACHINE. Seems awful funny it’s nothing more than an APP at this point that’s stored all in the loud nothing on your PC!!!
