Thank you for your analysis, you've hit on the gap I was hitting with my family account. I could see the lack of a semantic index was going to make experience short of the demo's, but not even offering a directed reference to one of my docs does leave a big tick in the chatgpt premium column, along with the more mature and rounded support for the chatgpt {Android app, voice communication} as opposed to a gob smacking void when trying to add copilot pro to my Windows 11 laptop as anything more than a we shortcut! Again, really appreciate your deep dive, you seem to have understood the whole scenario better than anyone else covering this ATM. Full credit to your analytical AND communication skills!
Thanks for watching and for the kind feedback!
Stunning Work. I just got MS 365 Copilot 2 hours ago....and was wondering "what if" a person had both Pro & MS 365 Copilot on 1 PC.
Thanks for watching.
Interesting views. Thank you.
Just to confirm that whilst a Microsoft Family license gives you 6 separate accounts, you can not buy Copilot for the primary account, and cascade Copilot to your family members. Each individual in the family will need to subscribe to their own Copilot license. In Australia, that is quite prohibitive at $33 inc GST per month.
Yes. A family subscription with 6x Copilot Pro would jump from $99 to over $1,500 per year. Can’t see many families opting for that any time soon.
You create amazingly useful, peerlessly presented, superbly explained, and demonstrated content my friend. Got yerself a new sub!
Thanks so much for your feedback!

Excellent comparison and overview!!
Thanks for watching!
Really great insights into all these similar-sounding but very different Copilot offerings!
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful content.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent review 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
This was a very informative video! Thank you! One question I can't seem to find the answer to - what version of GPT does Copilot for Microsoft 365 use? Copilot Pro advertises access to the latest and greatest GPT4 Turbo, while the documentation for Copilot for Microsoft 365 is silent on this point? I've even read suggestion that it could be using GPT 3.5 and will be slow to use the latest versions due to business requiring "mission critical" dependability? Is any of that true, or does Copilot for Microsoft 365 use GPT4 Turbo as Copilot Pro does?
Thanks for watching. I’m not sure there is a definitive answer to this question and it’s entirely possible the different tools employ different approaches. However, I don’t think it matters so much as the context building machinery Microsoft has put between your request and the LLM. GPT-3.5 plus a highly tuned prompt and expansive relevant contextual information may well be better than GPT-4 with the first prompt that came to mind plus some randomly assembled context. With Copilot for Microsoft 365 that context building is the differentiator.
I wasn't surprised. Google released Bard's Workspace Extensions integration with Google Drive in the fall for free. Microsoft needed to provide something for 365 consumers to compete. $20/mon ain't bad.
Thanks for watching. What do you think of Google’s approach versus Microsoft’s?
@@brightideasagencyI've been a longtime Google user but Microsoft has been on top of the AI tooling, so I'm leaning more to Copilot 365. It's interesting to see this play out over time. Google is entrenched in US schools but Microsoft has many SMB and enterprise customers....
I wanted a comparison of the output speeds. But you used balanced mode, which uses GPT 3.5 turbo, not GPT 4
Look out for something that might be coming up on this... with some potentially interesting results!
If I buy the copilot for business ($30), but I only have a family subscription... Do I get the option to create a presentation in PowerPoint based in a file of my own?
Thanks for watching. No, this isn’t an option. To buy Copilot for Microsoft 365 you need a business tenant and at minimum a M365 Business Standard base license. Your source file would also need to be in OneDrive for Business rather than your OneDrive Personal.
I’m sorry, after reading all the comments I still couldn’t actually get some of the differences. But it might be me cause everything is very clear. Excellent video by the way. But may be if I expose my particular case, you could enlighten me. I have an entreprise account for the institution I work for. But I also pay for the Family account, and I would like to have copilot that would actually allow me to reference my files (it’s like they do it on purpose you upgrade just for this). All are on one PC, is there a way I can get that feature of referrencing by getting copilot pro for my family account ? (With the linking method you explained)
I wateched again. I guess I can do it If I can get my organization to me link my personal account to that entreprise account right ?
There is currently no way to directly access files (other than the one you have open in your app) with Copilot other than using a Copilot for Microsoft 365 license attached to a commercial account. With Copilot Pro you get Copilot in your M365 apps, but you cannot reference content from files in your OneDrive, and just having Copilot Pro "linked" to your business account does not give you that capability. Additionally, even if you have Copilot for Microsoft 365 on your business account that's linked to your personal account, your Copilot capabilities in apps do not get shared between them. The only benefit to such account linking is to get Copilot Pro benefits at copilot.microsoft.com when also protected by Commercial Data Protection using your business account.
Thanks for this! "I saw the word fustion" and knew I needed the 365 one... but man is $360 up front an ask... not impossible... but an ask... How ever I do like the features of standard buisnuss account 365 for $12 not that bad and I think I can us the Co pilot pro on top by switching accounts... So I might as well stick to it... But yeah I wonder why normal buisnus office can be paid monthly but Co pilot 365 only yearly or tryi yearly? Edit: Nver mind I think? Still got personal just in case but I needed standard for other things like mesh.
The default for most of the business licenses is an annual commitment whether paid up front or not. However for Copilot there are likely some costs to Microsoft to turn on the license (initial indexing etc) which at least to some degree drives the upfront payment requirement.
you can have CoPilot Pro with Business Standard now apparently
Thanks for watching. As I've shown in the video it is possible for Copilot Pro to "layer" on top of the protected version of Copilot you get with any M365 Business or Enterprise plan. However, this just applies to the Copilot web service, it does not apply to Copilot in the Office apps. If you have Microsoft 365 Business Standard, also having Copilot Pro through a connected personal account provides you with no benefit in the Office apps. In this case you need Copilot for Microsoft 365.
I have copilot for Microsoft 365 but my copilot app tells me I don’t have pro.
You don’t necessarily have Copilot Pro because you have Copilot for M365, these are separate licenses. Look out for more info on this here. Thanks for watching.
Two questions:
1. Do you have an eye glass? Just wondering…
2. Are you reading of a script to the left of the camera? And if so, was the script AI generated?
Thanks for watching. 1. No. 2. No, and no. I am reading a script off a teleprompter so it’s right in front of the camera. But it’s not written by AI.
@@brightideasagency thank you. I meant no disrespect. I think you are a very good speaker and I’ve just started my endeavor to become better at public speaking.
Copilot Pro? Limoted geographical coverage😢
Hopefully it expands soon! Thanks for watching.
Your eyes look scary
👀
He does a great comparison video and this is your comment...
Thanks for watching.
the bias is strong with this one, gotta either go full on crazy for one side (this video was not enough) or be unbiased in your presentation. also gpt plus does not protect data, you have to be on gpt teams to have data protection and training exception. the bias doesnt make sense both use open ai's tech under the hood lol
Thanks for watching and for providing your feedback. However, the information you've offered is not correct. Using ChatGPT or ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI offers a solution to opt out of them using your data for model training. Information on this is here: help.openai.com/en/articles/7730893-data-controls-faq. There is not an equivalent setting for Copilot without the "Commercial Data Protection" afforded by an Entra ID login. So, in this aspect an individual considering Copilot or a Copilot Pro subscription who is specifically concerned about their data being used for model training might be better off with ChatGPT or ChatGPT Plus.
@@brightideasagency okay thanks for your insight! I'll watch more of your stuff esp around ai. Be nice to see how other ai stack up against openai's or maybe even just those offering openai's tech merlin etc.. Bet there's demand for videos like those since most of these services cost $$. We all love comparison videos.
