In my limited experience using copilot at work, i think it has been a game changer for non-technical computer users. Many of my coworkers and i use it as the first attempt at research especially now that it is connected to SharePoint within my company and provides references to the documents it is pulling from. Saves hours for things like compiling international regulations or standards documentation. Additionally, it has super charged (maybe too strong of a word) document search within our environment... Sharepoint search is the worst.

The recent Copilot search that was rolled out to replace the traditional M365 search is actually pretty good. When you use that search UI specifically.

If only asking from Copilot in a chat, the results are less spectacular or reliable. That just shows how a chat UI isn't the best solution for everything. Yet taking the M365 Search terms as input for the LLM to translate into a query that doesn't require the user to know the exact keyword to search - yes, that's a clear step forward.

And Graph grounding remains one of the features behind the premium license. So, only ~2% of M365 users will currently see this benefit. Unless the pay-as-you-go pricing option has huge adoption that we don't have any leaked figures on yet.

Depends a lot on the context of a chat, since it will prioritize the app you’re in, etc.

Augmenting/replacing search seems to be one of the truly useful benefits of Copilot. Not sure if that's because it's good or because Teams/Sharepoint search is so bad.
