Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat rolling out, IT admin resources available
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is now available for Entra account users with a Microsoft 365 subscription at no extra cost. It offers secure AI chat, pay-as-you-go agents, and IT controls. Admins need to enable agents for shared tenant data, and resources are provided to assist with deployment and user engagement. As first announced in MC958903 (December 2024), Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (Copilot Chat)—our new, enterprise-ready AI chat with agents for Entra account users (formerly known as Microsoft Copilot)—is now starting to roll out to customers. Copilot Chat is available at no additional cost for Entra account users with a Microsoft 365 subscription. For more information on the announcement, read the blog: https://aka.ms/CopilotChat When this will happen: General Availability: Starting today, January 15, 2025, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is rolling out to customers. How this will affect your organization: Copilot Chat offers: Secure, enterprise-ready AI chat powered by GPT-4o Pay-as-you-go agents grounded in shared tenant data, accessible right in chat IT controls for data governance and management of agents, including enterprise data protection.
