$30/mo/user? Wtf? What are people even using Copilot for? Every single time I've tried an AI language model it gives me laughably wrong and bad answers. I would need it to be 99%+ accurate to bother trusting it; especially when just searching an answer and finding a decent source isn't that lengthy.
Business users are the target group. If your job needs you to reply to a lot of mails and the Myomen you press the reply button AI creates an answer for you, you only need to edit in some details, the time safed will probably be worth more than 30$ a month.
Other use cases are internal communications. I know intranet software where you just promt a topic, a tone and what department you like from and it will create a news for you. Again not perfect, but safes you from staring at a blank page.
I can hear the HR, PR and security teams screaming from here just at that idea.
At best this would evolve into smart templates. But we can do that now. And we don't actually need that since the few emails we send that are repetitive we just grab from our drafts/sent folder.
I have been using Phind for debug and Perplexity for asking questions. Takes time to use two at once but it does the job.
