Copilot Pitch Decks

There are a couple of useful Pitch Decks released by Microsoft aimed at helping partners position Copilot solutions.

The main Copilot Pitch Deck includes details of Work IQ, Agents, Copilot Chat, and, of course, the latest innovations: Agent 365, Cowork, and Scout. The content contains handy comparison tables and some nice diagrams and explanations.

There’s also a Copilot Cost Management Pitch Deck which has details of spending policies and Copilot Credits purchasing options, as well as reporting and cost management tips.

Copilot Cowork latest resources

Microsoft continue to release waves of updated resources for Copilot Cowork.

The latest partner-focused material provides updated launch information, practical customer tools, and bite sized training to help confidently position and sell Copilot Cowork. Customer facing resources include a surprisingly comprehensive website with information on when to use Cowork, scenarios, prompting, rollout guidance, and security and governance.

Managing and controlling spend is understandably a hot topic, and Microsoft provide a useful Customer Cowork Estimator spreadsheet and Cowork Credit Planning Model to help predict Copilot Credits usage, forecast monthly costs, and plan budgets using customisable user scenarios.

Finance Solution in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft announce that the Finance Solution in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available. You might have heard of it by a different name since it’s a product that’s already undergone a series of name changes – Copilot for Finance and Finance Agents to name a couple. Now it’s essentially a set of Agents designed to automate various financial tasks across apps like Excel and Outlook, connecting to ERP systems such as Dynamics 365 and SAP. From a licensing perspective, you need to be licensed for Microsoft 365 Copilot and the relevant ERP system.

Copilot has a new face, and 12 new features!

The ever-evolving Copilot receives its Fall Release, which aims to make this assistant more personal, useful, and human-centred. The new features include better collaboration, adaptation to the user, deeper memory, and more complex understanding of context. Its capability in health and education has also advanced, and more functionality has been added to Copilot Mode in Edge, which reasons over your tabs to become your browser-based buddy. Perhaps the “highlight”, Copilot has a new face – an expressive, customisable, and warm character called Mico.

Certain features are region restricted, and you can read the full details here: https://bit.ly/47HmeyS.

Updated Copilot Studio Licensing Guide

The October 2025 Copilot Studio Licensing Guide has been reissued with a few interesting and useful changes. Version two adds details of the newly announced Copilot Credit Pre-Purchase Plan. Supplementing this are explanations of Copilot Credit Commit Units (CCCUs), and how they compare with the other options to purchase Copilot Credits. Normally residing in the Power Platform Licensing Guide, you can now find handy tables outlining Dataverse capacity Add-ons and meters in this guide too. As well as the additions, a couple of notable sections have been removed. The text about Dynamics 365 Agents in Paid Public Preview no longer appears and the information about Agent Flow Actions has gone too.

Find it along with our other Licensing Guides here: https://bit.ly/3X2vWGT, and our blog post about the Copilot Credit Pre-Purchase Plan here: https://bit.ly/3Jp1mUS.

Copilot Pre-Purchase Plan

Copilot Credits are the currency of Agent consumption for many Agents in the Microsoft world. Previously you’ve been able to purchase a Capacity Pack which gives you 25,000 Copilot Credits for $200 a month, or purchase on a Pay-As-You-Go basis at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. Now there’s a third option – a Pre-Purchase Plan – where you can buy large amounts of Copilot Credits (300,000 upwards) that you can use at any time during the next year, jolly handy, of course, for seasonal spikes. As you might expect, there are discounts available the more Copilot Credits you purchase, and in fact there are 9 different tiers with discounts ranging from 5% to 20% compared to the PAYG pricing.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and the Microsoft 365 Apps

The various Copilot offerings have somewhat evolved over time! We have seen Microsoft Copilot become Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, and there are new features being added all the time. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is a collection of AI features, the newest of which is chat functionality within the Microsoft 365 Apps. This means that if you have a valid Microsoft 365 or Office 365 licence, you’ll now find a snazzy sidebar in your apps which is aware of the context of the document you have open, and will provide natural language assistance based on what it sees. No need for a separate Microsoft 365 Copilot licence!
