Microsoft announces that Microsoft 365 Copilot becomes generally available for enterprise customers on November 1, 2023, following a testing phase with 600 paying participants. The AI assistant requires organizations to have an eligible Microsoft 365 license and pay a hefty $30 per user per month fee to access the service.
Cost presents a significant hurdle for many organizations, as recent IT conference attendees indicate a current lack of interest in deploying the tool. However, this hesitation is likely temporary, as companies typically wait to see real-world use cases before committing funds, and Microsoft's sales force is now preparing to aggressively market the product.
To help users get the most out of the technology, Microsoft introduces Copilot Lab, a resource designed to teach people how to write effective prompts. Because Copilot acts as an inexperienced assistant that relies heavily on user coaching, providing concise and contextual prompts remains essential for generating high-quality results.
