About this live course
For many people, Copilot is the obvious place to use AI with work data. It has access to your email, Teams, and SharePoint, it's covered by Enterprise Data Protection, and your company's security and data policies often point there by default.
One honest note: most of what Shane shows assumes you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, which is where the work context and the more advanced features come alive. He'll be upfront about licensing and credits as he goes.
If you last tried Copilot months ago, it has moved a long way and isn't as far behind as you've heard. You also aren't locked to one model: pick the best one this week from a dropdown without changing tools. Join Shane, a 20-year Microsoft MVP, for a plain look at what each Copilot tier does and when to use it.
