Copilot is now included within Microsoft 365. Excitedly, I resolved to find out how to get it working, and put it through its paces in Excel and Outlook (the two apps for which it can be most helpful, I believe). You can see how I got on in the other parts of this blog:

Part of blog	Contents
Getting Copilot to work	How much extra it will cost you to use Copilot, and what pre-conditions you'll need to meet.
Copilot in Excel	My first impressions of using Copilot within Excel.
Copilot in Outlook	Can you use Copilot to summarise existing emails, or create new ones?
Word (and PowerPoint)	Trying to create a summary of a Word document in different ways, including as a PowerPoint presentation.

If you just want to fast forward to an executive summary, here it is: I won't be forking out £300 this year for Copilot in 365 (except sadly I just have done, in order to be able to write this review). If I've missed the point of Copilot, please do let me know immediately, as I really want to be fair to it!
