And it's not even good I can't understand what they're trying to do. I press the button occasionally just to mess with it and it has zero access to my data to do anything useful. Copilot in Outlook can't read my email, it's just a worse ChatGPT window sitting next to my email. What use-cases are you even imagining?

They're trying to ship AI features. Which is the issue. They shouldn't be shipping AI features, they should be solving problems. If AI features are in service of solving those problems then great. But starting from a fad solution and trying to reverse-engineer a problem is backwards.

What they're certainly trying to do is get good annual reviews which increasingly revolve around saying "Look, I did AI."

It can have access to all your data, but they want you to pay $30 a month for that. The free one doesn't have this access.

Fwiw I have that at work and IMO it's not worth that much. It's more useful than the free one but nothing game changing.
