If I was to speculate, this is the result of "rank n' yank" where the performative productivity is more important than actual productivity. If true it says something about why AI is pushed hard by Microsoft, it make performative productivity much more easier.

You cannot really use most Copilot products for actual productivity, even if you wanted to.

Last time I checked, Copilot in Outlook did not have access to my calendar data.

I have plenty of users using it for real productivity purposes. Yes, it has access to Exchange Online calendars.

True, but it's so incredibly fragile. 90% of the time copilot returns sensible things, eg when prompted to list all the f2f meetingsI had last month. 10% of the time it fails to find things, makes things up, etc.

Problem: if I cant rely on it for administrative tasks like this, I end up having to do more work to verify what it says. which makes the tool pretty useless.

Could these be different products, like Home edition vs Pro edition?

I only have experience with the M365 enterprise services. I don’t use M365 for personal stuff, I’m too cheap for that.

Yeah, I gave up trying to find productivity uses for the copilot in office because of limitations like that.
