https://lnkd.in/dv_4Dn4i Microsoft backtracks on Microsoft Copilot Chat access in M365 apps Microsoft will remove access to its AI assistant in certain Office apps for the largest Microsoft Dynamics 365 enterprise customers next month, and put usage restrictions in place for others.

Microsoft is testing a new Copilot feature in Windows that opens web links directly inside the Copilot app rather than launching the user’s browser, allowing the assistant to display web content alongside AI conversations. #Microsoft #AI #Webcontent https://lnkd.in/eRe-rtxB

Power Platform is quietly becoming AI-first. Interesting to see Microsoft pushing agent capabilities into Power Apps through MCP and Copilot experiences not just low-code development anymore, but intelligent business apps. Feels like we're moving from build apps → build apps with agents → build agentic solutions. That shift has implications not just for development, but for solution design, governance, and how we think about automation itself. Curious how others in the Power Platform community see this evolving. #PowerPlatform #PowerApps #PowerAutomate #CopilotStudio #Microsoft #AI #LowCode #AgenticAI #PowerPlatform #MicrosoftCopilot #Makers #Governance

“There are now Copilots inside Copilots, Copilots for other Copilots, and a physical Copilot key on your keyboard for summoning them." Tey Bannerman is doing the heroic work of tallying the number of Microsoft products named Copilot. He's at 80 and counting. Names matter. That’s especially true when we’re all trying to establish shared meaning in something new. Alas, at Microsoft, the name “Copilot” means very little except for a hand-wavey gesture in the direction of “has AI.” Microsoft applies the label to apps, features, platforms, a keyboard key, and an entire category of laptops. When everything is Copilot, nothing is Copilot. This is a marketing problem for Microsoft, but it also points to a general fuzziness problem in the industry. The meanings of terms like “agent,” “copilot,” even “AI” itself have grown so diffuse as to be useless for common understanding even within discrete teams or organizations. (Somehow, even traditional automation is called agentic lately; the difference between automation and autonomy is getting lost, but that’s a post for another time.) One of the goals that Veronika Kindred and I had for writing the Sentient Design book was to create crisp vocabulary and definitions for different experience types. For what it’s worth, “copilot” is one of the four fundamental “postures” in Sentient Design from which all intelligent interfaces derive. Our definition: Copilots provide continuous, context-aware assistance throughout an activity. This always-on stance of constant monitoring and assistance is different from the other postures of tool, chat, and agent. Posture determines the system’s manner and relationship with the user. More than just differences in functionality, these postures describe the different ways users collaborate with intelligent interfaces: - People use tools. - People talk to chat. - People delegate to agents. - People are backed by copilots. From those four postures, over a dozen novel experience patterns emerge. When you’re making something new, apply some rigor to what you call it. A crisp definition not only helps you describe the thing, it helps you shape what you make—and make it distinct from its neighbors. It tells you (and your customers) not only what it is, but what it’s *not*. https://lnkd.in/eEFqK2k9

AI rollouts need more than good intentions. At Kobus Technologies LLC, we see that launching Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat without a plan can slow adoption and raise security concerns. This infographic walks through 4 practical steps to: • Make Copilot Chat easy to access across apps and Windows • Communicate its value as your secure, company-approved AI tool • Reinforce security by guiding users away from unapproved AI tools • Turn early interest into measurable, everyday use If you're supporting users in the Shreveport and Bossier City area, this is a helpful way to rethink how you introduce Copilot Chat so it's available, known, safe, and impactful. @Microsoft Copilot @Microsoft 365

440 million vs. 6 million. That's the daily active user gap between ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, according to Sensor Tower data from March 2026. Claude, with a fraction of Microsoft's marketing budget, hit 9 million daily users in the same period. Copilot sat at 6 million despite being embedded in Windows, Teams, and Excel across 90% of the Fortune 500. The distribution advantage isn't working. As one consultant put it: "Am I getting $30 of value per user per month out of it? The short answer is no." Here's the current business breakdown: 🔹 ChatGPT: 440M DAU. The default industry standard. 🔹 Gemini: 82M DAU. Mostly passive adoption via Google Workspace. 🔹 Claude: 9M DAU. Small volume, high value. 45% of API traffic is corporate. 🔹 Copilot: 6M DAU. The value proposition hasn't landed yet. The lesson? The tool you license and the tool your team actually opens every day are often two different things. Think about that for a second before your next renewal. #AIStrategy #DigitalMarketing #Ecommerce #TechLeadership #AIAdoption #DigitalMully

Something new has come to Microsoft Copilot recently, and I think you’re going to like this one 👍 It’s called Reminders. Now before you roll your eyes and think, “I already have reminders on my phone,” stick with me. This isn’t a basic alarm, it’s built into Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant. And interestingly, you don’t need to pay for the Copilot subscription to use it. Even free users have access (with a few limits). You can say something like: “Remind me to cancel my Microsoft 365 subscription in five minutes.” And Copilot will send an alert to your mobile device. Or: “Remind me every Monday at 8am to review my presentation.” It understands dates and times automatically. You don’t need to fiddle around with settings or formats. It knows what “in five minutes” means. It even works for recurring reminders. You could say: “Teach me a new Spanish word every day at 9am.” And it will send something different each time. That’s clever 😊 A few important things to know: • The reminders are sent to your mobile device only. So, you need the Copilot app installed on your Android or iPhone, and notifications must be turned on. If you’ve disabled permissions, nothing will pop up. • Free users can create up to 5 reminders. • If you have Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, you can have up to 20. • You manage them inside the Copilot mobile app under Settings. AI tools are all racing to become all-rounders. They don’t just want to answer questions anymore.

Microsoft has formally reset the Copilot naming taxonomy to reduce confusion and clearly separate capability, performance tier, and licensing model. Microsoft explicitly stated that Copilot experiences are now named by performance tier, not just by surface area: “Premium” = priority access + guaranteed capacity during peak demand “Basic” = standard access, subject to throttling during busy periods This resolves long‑standing confusion between: “free Copilot” “Copilot Chat” “Microsoft 365 Copilot” “Copilot inside apps” Below is the authoritative FY26 Copilot naming update for your viewing pleasure.
