I'm looking to understand more about the benefits of using Copilot in an office setting. Specifically, can it handle tasks like adding users to distribution groups? How have folks been utilizing Copilot to streamline IT operations, especially in a Microsoft 365 environment?

In our experience, we tell management that we've integrated AI into our workflows, so they think we're on top of the latest tech trends. Meanwhile, we just keep things running as usual, hoping this AI phase fades out soon. It's kind of a survival tactic!
Yeah, it's the only way to navigate the buzzword bingo!
The benefits of Copilot are pretty significant. It's not just a glorified search engine; it can really boost productivity! It cuts down on email and meeting overload by summarizing info, saving a user around 8 hours a month and up to 20 hours for power users. That translates to a lot of saved labor costs. Plus, its integration with tools like SharePoint and Power Platform makes life easier for IT teams, enabling automated scripts and incident prioritization. Check out some studies to see the potential benefits!
Some folks see Copilot as just another overhyped search engine. It’s good for spellcheck and looking things up, but watch out for the times it gives you total fabrications!
If that's what you’re using it for, you're missing out on so much more it can do!
Honestly, every end user now hits us up with whatever nonsense Copilot spits out, even when it doesn’t make sense. It’s like a new layer of confusion for us!
Copilot's decent for writing PowerShell and Python snippets as long as you double-check everything. It’s also handy for building AWS CloudWatch queries, which I forget about pretty quickly!
Haha, I get that! Just like keeping the kids happy while doing your own thing.
