Listened while I was working away. But really useful insights. The Key is for people to not just expect the magic to happen and learn how to best use it, set it up and put it into practice. Migrating all your data from network drives to cloud, putting policies in place, education as discussed all key considerations. There is a lot to do to maximise it, but it's exciting that you can also hit the ground running.

Nice video. I really appreciated Andy Huneycutt's honesty around the product. Many of these folks really talk up all of the great things about a product, but stay silent on any downsides. I particularly appreciated the fact that he said not everyone at Microsoft is using Co-Pilot yet. They're still working on it internally. He didn't skirt around the question. He answered it honestly.

I've tried all the ways he mentioned to access M365 Chat, but I am not finding success as I don't find the 'Work' tab as he said in Bing Chat - Then I tried adding M365 Chat App, success but then realised that our organization is not licensed, as the M365 Chat App is telling me. It's a pity as we are a Microsoft Dynamics partner! -- I also tried to find the Teams Co-Pilot in Teams, even that is not available -- Supposing all of it is a joint Co-Pilot license? (as per Andy 30 USD circa) or what?

I’m really wanting copilot to be ubiquitous. Can I use the app to order 365 apps to do work. Say his book idea, can I ask the app to work on a book with me? That’s exactly what I want to see, does it just “think” for people who struggle to organize data?
Ok, after I was able to get further in the video, I got an understanding that it can be leveraged in a ubiquitous fashion, but there’s no unified source.
Meet me in the home, guys. Meet me in the home.
