We have deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot to nearly all our employees and vendors at Microsoft. As Customer Zero, we are the first enterprise to do so at scale. As of this week, nearly everyone at the company has it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re seeing immediate and wide-ranging benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur employees are putting it to work for them right away,\u201d says Claire Sisson, a principal group product manager in Microsoft Digital, the internal IT organization at Microsoft. \u201cIt immediately starts giving you smart insights that help you get on top of your work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, what is Microsoft 365 Copilot, exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s our new productivity solution that uses the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to help us be more productive. It\u2019s part of our Microsoft 365 Copilot offering that creates a single, seamless user experience across Microsoft 365, Copilot in Windows, Bing, the Microsoft Cloud, and other Microsoft applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Microsoft, we got Microsoft 365 Copilot early as part of our role as the company\u2019s Customer Zero<\/a>, which allows us to test our products at enterprise scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pioneers in using AI in our products,\u201d says Sisson, who is leading the rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot internally at Microsoft. \u201cWe\u2019re the first enterprise in the world to launch Copilot at scale, and we\u2019re capturing a ton of insights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the feedback that we get from our early adopters is helping the company create the best possible version of Microsoft 365 Copilot for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re learning so much,\u201d Sisson says. \u201cWe\u2019re learning how to deploy it at enterprise scale, how to make sure we put in the right protections for our employees and for Microsoft, and then ensuring our employees start using it in productive ways that reap all the new benefits of Copilot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft 365 Copilot gets its power from seamlessly integrating with data in Microsoft 365 Graph and the various Microsoft 365 applications and services that we all\u2014our employees and our customers\u2014use to get work done, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps you in numerous ways, ranging from summarizing action items from an important meeting, to helping you conduct on-the-spot analysis of data that has just come your way, to instantly crafting high quality content that helps you land an important project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIts capacity to boost productivity and produce high quality work for our employees enables them to dedicate their attention to their core work and big aspirations,\u201d Sisson says. \u201cAnd frankly, that\u2019s what\u2019s happening\u2014our employees are getting time back to work on the things they love, and that\u2019s the high value work that drives this company forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succeeding as Customer Zero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know that Microsoft 365 Copilot is evolving day by day. As the company\u2019s IT organization, we work to understand those changes, document them, and translate them into communications and readiness assets for our employees. As we work to build a better product, the speed of these cycles accelerates awareness and improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
