I don’t know, but Microsoft’s free copilot stuff is so not useful that it doesn’t make me feel the need to pay them for the business product

I paid the $30 today for their 365 Pilot and asked it to summarize a meeting for me that was recorded and it couldn’t even find the meeting.

But hey, I’m sure Cisco will do a better job. Everybody I know keeps asking about Cisco’s AI. Maybe it will finally give a good answer as to why I should pay a subscription to own an access point.

I'm in agreement that this stuff is painfully useless.

But "it couldn't even find the meeting" sounds more like a configuration problem and less like a comment on the product's quality.

From time to time Teams doesn’t show me a teams meeting that I have on my outlook calendar, so I’d believe it.
