Microsoft Copilot gets a real hands-on review here, with a close look at how AI now works inside Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Teams, Outlook, Loop, and Whiteboard. The review walks through how to get Copilot through a Microsoft account, what the $20 per month plan includes, and why this launch matters for everyday users across the Microsoft ecosystem.
The biggest focus is Copilot in Excel, where it can create formulas, build pivot tables, analyze data, highlight values, and generate charts from prompts. The video also tests Copilot in Word for writing and summarizing documents, in OneNote for generating ideas, and in PowerPoint for creating a presentation from a prompt. Along the way, it shows what works well, what feels slow, and where the limitations start to show.
If you want a practical Microsoft Copilot review, an AI in Excel tutorial, or a breakdown of Copilot in Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, this video covers the real user experience. It is especially useful for anyone comparing Microsoft Copilot vs ChatGPT, looking for AI productivity tools, or trying to understand how generative AI fits into daily office work.
Great for search terms like Microsoft Copilot review, Copilot in Excel, AI in Word, AI in PowerPoint, AI productivity tools, and Microsoft 365 Copilot tutorial. If you are researching business AI software, office automation, or everyday AI for work, this review gives a clear look at what Copilot can and cannot do.

00:00What's going on, everybody?
00:01Welcome back to another video.
00:02Today, we're going to be taking a look at Microsoft Copilot.
00:10Now, I think we can all agree
00:12we've been waiting a really long time for this
00:13because Microsoft announced Microsoft Copilot
00:16back in February of 2023.
00:18Now it's February of 2024,
00:20and now I'm just getting my hands on it.
00:22There were a lot of rumors and beta testers
00:24who were using Microsoft Copilot
00:26who were basically saying it wasn't working at all.
00:28And so they kept delaying and delaying and delaying the launch
00:31for all of us normal users.
00:33But now as normal people can start getting our hands on it,
00:35start using it and seeing how it works.
00:37Now in this video, we're gonna be doing quite a few things.
00:39The first thing we're gonna do is I'm just gonna show you
00:40how you can get Microsoft Copilot if you're a Microsoft user
00:43and if you want to pay for it.
00:45Yes, it is a paid product.
00:47I don't think anyone is shocked by this,
00:49but I'm gonna show you everything that it's integrated into
00:51in the Microsoft ecosystem.
00:53And then I'll kind of do some demonstrations along the way.
00:56I'm not gonna demonstrate every single thing
00:58is integrated into.
00:59I think you'll see kind of a pattern here
01:01of it's pretty similar in a lot of their products.
01:03Like it does a lot of the same things.
01:05The one that we're gonna be focusing on the most
01:07is Copilot in Excel,
01:08because it is probably the most different
01:10out of all the ones it's integrated into.
01:12It does a variety of different things.
01:14We're really gonna dive into it.
01:15I think that one is gonna be the biggest change
01:17for most people,
01:18because a lot of people have been using ChatTBT
01:19for emails or writing notes or summarizing things.
01:22And that's what it does in a lot of the other ones.
01:24But in Excel, it has a lot of different functionalities.
01:27And hundreds of millions of people use Excel
01:29every single day.
01:30And so I think that is probably the one that I think
01:31most people are gonna be interested in seeing.
01:34So without further ado,
01:35let's jump on my screen and get started.
01:36All right, so here we are on my Microsoft account.
01:38You have to have a Microsoft account
01:40in order to get Copilot.
01:41I think that makes sense.
01:43But all you have to do is go to your subscription
01:45and you can go to the managed subscription
01:47and you can pay for Copilot.
01:48I'm not, for this video,
01:49going to stop paying for it
01:51and then pay for it so you can see it.
01:52It isn't crazy hard
01:54once you get to this part of your profile,
01:56but you just go to your subscriptions
01:58and you pay for it.
01:59And so here it is, costs $20 per month,
02:02which isn't terrible.
02:03It's the same cost as something like ChatGPT,
02:05but it's gonna be integrated into everything.
02:07So I think that's a fair price.
02:09I don't think it's crazy, crazy expensive.
02:11Now let's come up here
02:12and I just wanna show you
02:14what it's currently integrated into.
02:15Here we have Copilot in Teams,
02:18Copilot in Outlook, Copilot in Word,
02:20PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote,
02:22in Loop and in Whiteboard.
02:24Now the ones that I personally use are Teams, Outlook,
02:28Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote.
02:30I don't use Loop, Whiteboard
02:33and I don't really use this one at all either.
02:35But as you can see, I use quite a few of these.
02:37And so $20 a month to have it
02:38in every single one of these products
02:40that I use almost every single day,
02:41it's not a bad deal.
02:42Now, before we move into Excel,
02:44I'm gonna show you kind of what they tell you
02:46you can do in Excel.
02:47I'm gonna demonstrate just a few of these
02:49and I think you'll get a pretty quick feel
02:50of exactly how it works.
02:52For our first example, let's start out in Word.
02:54And right when I open a Word document,
02:56this is what I get.
02:57So it's automatically giving me this option.
02:59I didn't ask for it, it just doesn't.
03:02And so we're gonna ask it to do something for us
03:04and we're gonna see exactly what it does.
03:06I'm gonna say write a few paragraphs
03:09about the differences
03:13between Microsoft Excel, if I can spell correctly.
03:16It's not how you spell Microsoft.
03:17Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
03:21And then I'm gonna come down here
03:22and I'm gonna click Generate.
03:23As you can see, it's starting
03:24to put everything on the screen.
03:26This is taking maybe 15 to 20, maybe 30 seconds.
03:30As it's pulling in the information,
03:32it's putting it on the screen.
03:33And so there you go.
03:35We have a lot of different information.
03:36And then we have this thing down here.
03:38Now this allows us to edit the prompts so we can go in
03:40and change what we actually wanted it to do.
03:42We can say, keep it,
03:44or it'll actually keep all these changes.
03:45We can refresh it to have it repopulate this information,
03:48or we can delete it,
03:50or we can make different changes to it.
03:52So if we say, okay, add this, take away this,
03:54it can do that.
03:56But if we just bring this back over here,
03:59we can also open up the co-pilot option.
04:02Now this is what you're gonna see in almost everything.
04:04This little display on the right-hand side of the page
04:07is gonna be what you see in almost all the applications
04:09that it's integrated into.
04:11Now, what we can do is we can take any type of document,
04:15and we can just say, summarize this doc.
04:16So I'm not gonna type it out.
04:18I'm just gonna click on this,
04:19and it's gonna summarize this entire document for us.
04:22Now, for this example,
04:23we're working with just random sample data,
04:25but if we had a really large document,
04:27let's say like 100 pages,
04:29we could have it summarize it into maybe two pages
04:31or three pages, and it would do that for us.
04:33It's going to summarize the main ideas.
04:36Instead of four or five sentences,
04:38we now just have about one or two per topic.
04:41Next, we have OneNote,
04:42and OneNote is gonna be really similar
04:44to basically Excel, right?
04:46You have this co-pilot on the right-hand side.
04:48I'm gonna say generate 10 ideas
04:50for YouTube videos around data analytics.
04:52Put them all in the list from best to worst.
04:55We'll write it just like that.
04:57And we're gonna see what it comes up with.
04:59And now we can just copy this, paste it right over here.
05:02Now we have all these different options
05:05and maybe some videos I need to think about making,
05:09but it's really similar to ChatGPT or Bing.
05:12It's gonna give a lot of similar responses.
05:14It's running off of ChatGPT 4.
05:17And so all of the stuff that is output in ChatGPT or Bing
05:20is gonna be extremely similar here on co-pilot.
05:23The very last one that I wanna show you is PowerPoint.
05:26Now, all the other ones,
05:27almost all the other ones are gonna be the exact same.
05:29You have this thing on the right-hand side
05:31and you prompt it to do something.
05:33It's mostly just working with string and text.
05:35So even if you go into email,
05:36it's basically the exact same thing.
05:38So I'm just not gonna dive into every single one.
05:40But now let's look at co-pilot for PowerPoint.
05:43Now I have this prompt down here,
05:44create a presentation on Excel for data analytics.
05:46Start from basics to advanced,
05:48have a total of 10 slides.
05:50And let's see what it comes up with.
05:52And now it just populated this.
05:54Let's take a look.
05:55It says, welcome to Excel for data analytics.
05:57Let's scroll through and just see what it has.
06:02Okay, this isn't a ton of super useful information,
06:06but it is a good, maybe a good format,
06:09a starting place to start with.
06:11The pivot tables in Excel says,
06:13introduction to pivot tables, creating a pivot table.
06:16So maybe I needed to give it a lot more context.
06:18This is just a quick example.
06:20But as you can see, it created a PowerPoint with 10 slides.
06:24And I need to go in and I need to do a lot of work
06:26to make this right or add a lot more context,
06:29a lot more information for it to understand
06:31and give me a lot better output.
06:33But it's just a quick example of what it can do.
06:36So that was just a quick example of some of the ways
06:38that you can use co-pilot.
06:39Of course, in teams,
06:40you can have it summarize the conversations
06:42because it's taking all that,
06:44putting it into text and then it just summarizes it.
06:46So pretty similar, but a really neat feature.
06:48You can write emails.
06:50And now we're going to look at Excel specifically.
06:53Now let's come up here
06:54because, and I'll put all these links in the description,
06:56by the way, if you want to take a look at this,
06:58but this is co-pilot in Excel.
06:59Let's see exactly what it can do.
07:00And then let's actually test it out ourselves.
07:03So we have co-pilot in Excel.
07:05It says, analyze, understand, visualize your data with ease.
07:08Let's come right down here.
07:10It says you can help explore
07:12and understand your data better.
07:14It can analyze and visualize your data.
07:16And then it can effortlessly highlight,
07:19filter and sort your data.
07:20And then it can generate formulas.
07:23So this is exactly what it can do.
07:26It doesn't go much beyond exactly what it told you,
07:29but let's actually test it out and see how it works.
07:32All right, here we are in Excel.
07:33I have my co-pilot button right up here.
07:36Now, one thing I'm going to tell you is
07:38there are some things you have to do
07:39in order for co-pilot to work with your data.
07:42The first thing is, is if you pull up the co-pilot
07:45and you come right down here, it says,
07:46I only work in an Excel table.
07:48If you have a table, you just need to click inside of it.
07:51So if this data wasn't in a table, I have to go in,
07:55I have to insert a table right here.
07:57I have to specify the data and put it in a table.
08:00That's the only way it works.
08:02Now, once I click into this table,
08:04now we have a lot of different options.
08:06We have add formula columns, highlight,
08:09sort and filter and analyze.
08:11Now really quickly here at the bottom,
08:12I have different tabs and those are there for a purpose.
08:15For example, right now, we only have about 15 rows of data.
08:18We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight columns.
08:21In the stocks data, we have about 506 rows of data.
08:27Then maybe about 10 or 11 columns.
08:30With temperature, we have quite a bit more.
08:32So now we're working with 1500 rows of data.
08:35And then we have this bus breakdown and delays NYC.
08:39And this is going to have quite a bit more data.
08:41If you can't see that, let me zoom in quite a bit.
08:44282,000 rows.
08:45So this is a lot of data.
08:48Let's go back up to the top.
08:49And this data comes from my Excel for data analytics course
08:53on Analyst Builder.
08:54If you haven't checked it out, shameless plug right there.
08:57Go and check it out.
08:57I'll leave a link in the description,
08:58but let's go back and we're just going to go to this sample data.
09:02Now this sample data was generated by Copilot itself.
09:06It said, do you want to generate some sample data?
09:07And I said, yes, and this is exactly what it generated.
09:10Now I'm going to start off really, really, really simple.
09:13I'm just going to show you some of the things that it can do.
09:15And then we'll get to some of the limitations that I have personally found
09:18when I was using this for the past week or so.
09:21The first thing that you can do is ask it to do some general generic things,
09:27kind of some things that you could easily do yourself,
09:31but you kind of want them to do it.
09:33So you can just say, filter the budget where it's greater than, and we'll say 1,000.
09:42So I'm asking it to filter this column where it's greater than 1,000.
09:47And it takes a little bit.
09:49I'm doing this in real time, so we're going to see how long it takes.
09:52It looks like it doesn't really understand what we're asking.
09:55Maybe I need to use the right capitalization here.
09:58If this did not happen, filter the budget column where it's greater than 1,000.
10:07When I was testing this, there were some things that would work,
10:09some things that wouldn't work, or it didn't understand what I was asking it to do.
10:14So right now it really doesn't understand what I want it to do.
10:17Although when I was testing it out earlier, it was working.
10:19So I guess that's one of the limitations.
10:22Let's do the next one.
10:23So we're going to say highlight and it'll say total users targeted.
10:28We'll say highlight the top five, total users targeted.
10:32So this should be using right over here, conditional formatting.
10:36So if I come in here, I do highlight cell rules.
10:38I can do a greater than, I can say the top five, or actually it's the top bottom rules.
10:44So I go to the top 10 items and I just say top five.
10:46So now it highlighted the top five for us.
10:49Here's one thing I will say just while we're here, because again,
10:52I know it's going to be a long video, the co-pilot takes a long time.
10:57It usually takes like 15 to 20 seconds.
11:00Whereas if I already know how to do this, it takes me about like five seconds.
11:05If I could just come over here, conditional formatting, top 10, I'll do top five and click
11:12okay.
11:13That takes me like three or four seconds.
11:14Whereas this takes like 15 to 20 seconds.
11:17Here's what I will say about that.
11:19And I'll get to some of my overall thoughts at the very end.
11:21But for the average user who is not a data analyst or who really doesn't use Excel or
11:26know Excel well, I think this will be useful because maybe they don't know how to use conditional
11:30formatting and they just want to highlight it and they're able to converse with it.
11:33It makes it more user friendly for the average person.
11:38For maybe like you and I who are probably better at Excel than the average user, this is going to
11:44be
11:44really slow.
11:45It feels a little bit slow and a bit clunky, but that is something that it can do.
11:49The next thing we can do is ask it questions about the data.
11:51So we can say, which owner has the biggest budget overall?
11:58And so I'm going to ask it this question and we have our owner right over here.
12:02So that's a completely different tab.
12:04I didn't say campaign owner.
12:05So let's see if it understands that.
12:07And right here, it says, here's a pivot table based on your prompt.
12:10And so then it says, we have the top campaign owner by budget.
12:14Now let's add this to a new sheet because this is something that it does a lot.
12:18So we added it to this new sheet and you can see it created this pivot table.
12:21It has Andre Lawson.
12:24And then right over here, we have the sum of the budget.
12:27That's what it likes to do with almost everything.
12:30It loves to create a pivot table and then do something with that pivot table, either create
12:34a visualization or just summarize the data in some way.
12:38That's what it does with almost everything, which is pretty neat because I myself use pivot
12:43tables quite a bit.
12:44Now let's see if it can create a visualization.
12:46Let's come over here and we're going to go to this temperature data.
12:51Now this has 1500 rows of data.
12:54Let's see if it can handle it and let's see what it does.
12:58So let's say create a time series, let me spell things right, a graph showing the average
13:06humidity per month.
13:08And let's see if it's able to do that.
13:10Now it's working with more data.
13:12So we have 1500 rows of data with about five columns, which again, isn't a lot of data.
13:19Let's see how it does.
13:19So it looks like we have our graph here.
13:21Let's add this to a new sheet.
13:23It's going to create a completely separate sheet.
13:25And right over here, it has the pivot table that it's creating this visualization on.
13:29I personally really like that because I want to see how they're actually creating the visualization
13:34and you can always go in and change it.
13:37So if I want to get rid of months, I can do that or I can, you know, just add
13:42different
13:42information that I want to add.
13:44It's all here.
13:44They kind of created it for me, but I'm able to edit it myself.
13:48The next thing that I want to show you is right over here on the stocks.
13:51Now, with this stock data, I want to ask it to create a formula for me.
13:56And I'm going to be a little bit tricky.
13:58I'm not going to give it exactly what I want it to do.
14:00I want it to try to use some logic here.
14:02But what I'm going to ask it is we have this 52 week high.
14:05We have a 52 week low and I can zoom in on this a little bit.
14:09So I want to see the percentage difference between the lowest point and the highest point.
14:14The lowest point in the year, if you bought at this point and you sold at the very top,
14:18basically, what is the difference or how much money would I have made on my investment?
14:22So I'm going to say create a column that calculates the percentage change from the 52 week low
14:35to the 52 week high.
14:38Now, this is difficult a little bit because I'm not giving it the formula.
14:44And there is a formula behind this.
14:45And so I want to see if it's able to calculate this.
14:48And this actually is something that I really like about Copilot is its ability to write the
14:53formulas and functions.
14:54And so there we go.
14:56So we have this 52 week change column right now.
14:59I'm going to insert this as a column.
15:02And now we have that information right here.
15:05And so from 175, let's look at a really simple example.
15:09Here's 52.
15:10So we have 42 all the way up to 64.
15:14And so half of this, which is about 50%, is about 20.
15:18So 42 plus 20 is about 64.6.
15:22So you can see that this is really accurate.
15:24We're going from this to this, and that's a 52.8% change.
15:29And that goes all the way down.
15:30And now this is another column in our table that then we can use.
15:34So now we can come in here and we can sort this.
15:37We can go from largest to smallest.
15:39And now we can see these ones went from about 200 all the way down to about a hundred percent.
15:46These are really, really, really big changes from its smallest to its largest point.
15:49So this is really useful and you can do a lot with the formulas and functions.
15:53I will say for me personally, I think this is one of the best things about Copilot because
15:58I always am researching different functions and formulas and calculations.
16:02And then I'm putting them in here from the internet.
16:05But if I can just ask it and it knows it natively because it's all built into Copilot,
16:09that saves you a lot of time.
16:11Let's start getting into some of the negatives of Copilot.
16:16I really have run through the basis of what this can do and what it can't do.
16:20Here's what I found that it can do.
16:22It can do pretty simple tasks.
16:23If it's in here, like I said, filtering, creating pivot tables, creating visualizations,
16:28you can ask it to highlight certain values.
16:31These are all what I would consider quite basic.
16:33It isn't crazy advanced, right?
16:36But very, very helpful, especially with the formulas.
16:39That's what I do like.
16:40But if you really ask it anything context-based or you ask it to do things like clean data
16:47or even separate out, let's say this sector.
16:52So let's say with this, this is just an example.
16:56Take the sector column and break it out into two columns using a space as the delimiter.
17:08This is going to be too advanced for it.
17:10I've tried it.
17:11It just doesn't work.
17:12And I just want to break something out, break out a column based off of a delimiter.
17:17It can't do those things.
17:18It even says right up here, they just can't do it.
17:20So there's a lot, a lot, a lot of limitations to what it can do.
17:25And probably one of the biggest downsides is it does not work with large data sets.
17:30For example, we have this really large data set over here.
17:32There's 260,000 rows and that's a lot, but honestly, it's not a crazy amount.
17:38This is probably what a lot of people have used.
17:41I'm just going to ask it to do anything.
17:42I'm just going to say, I'm going to say filter on the reason column to be, I'll say heavy traffic.
17:53And this is something that in smaller data sets, it's absolutely going to be able to do.
17:58But in this large data set, it's not going to work.
18:01And so here it says, sorry, I'm having trouble right now.
18:04Try opening the chat or sending a prompt a bit later.
18:06But typically what it's saying is I can't do anything more than 2 million rows.
18:10So that's typically what it's doing.
18:13The other thing that I wanted to note is it only works if your data is in the OneDrive.
18:17So if I have something stored locally on my computer, it does not work.
18:21It has to be stored here because it needs to be able to connect to that data,
18:26process it through their Azure AI systems that they have set up and then spit back out what it needs,
18:32which is why it takes so long to do, but you have to have it.
18:34You can't just store it locally.
18:35So it's not like this software is on your computer.
18:39All these new features and all the Copilot is stored in Azure and works in Azure.
18:43And you have to have that internet connection.
18:44So if you don't have an internet connection and this isn't in OneDrive,
18:47you can't use Copilot at all.
18:49And so that's just kind of unfortunate.
18:51But I'm going to leave on at least this on a solid note,
18:54because what I'm going to show you is one really cool last thing.
18:57We have this launch date.
18:59It is a date, a custom date, but I just want it to be,
19:02I'm going to say, change the launch date to month, month, day, day, year, year, year format.
19:15And so this is just one last thing I want to leave on a positive note,
19:18before I go into kind of exactly what I think about everything as a whole.
19:22So I think that is really cool.
19:24You can change kind of the formatting or the data type of the actual cells.
19:28So that is Microsoft Copilot. I feel like I showed you the vast majority of what it can do.
19:32And it can do quite a few things in a lot of different applications that Microsoft has,
19:36which is really great.
19:37Now let's talk a little bit about just the positives and the negatives.
19:41The positives is that if you're in the Microsoft ecosystem,
19:44this is going to be really great because you basically have ChatGPT or Bing, right?
19:48But ChatGPT 4 integrated into all of your products.
19:51And so generally, I think that that will increase your productivity.
19:53If you have lists to make, if you have things that you want to summarize,
19:57you know, it's really, really helpful or responding to emails.
20:00These are all things that all of us do on a daily basis in the real world.
20:04And so I really do believe that a lot of people use this on a daily basis
20:07for a lot of those kind of menial or mundane tasks that they don't want to do.
20:11I also think it's fairly user friendly.
20:13So the average person out there, maybe not someone who works in tech,
20:16but just the average person out there is going to be able to use and ask questions
20:19and kind of understand it and kind of have those conversations with it to change things and do things.
20:24But I do think that the average person is going to get pretty frustrated at using Copilot
20:29if they haven't used any type of AI before, because I ran into a hundred different problems
20:34with internet connection, with my files not being in the right place,
20:38with just not being specific enough and asking it exactly what I needed.
20:41And it went and did something that I didn't want it to do.
20:44So then I had to undo it or I had to go back and change it,
20:47which at times was genuinely pretty frustrating because with ChatGPT,
20:51I always had to copy and paste it. But when I'm asking it to do something directly,
20:55it would just go and do it, which didn't always do exactly what I wanted.
21:00And so then I had to go in and I had to like delete a column or reverse something.
21:04And that was a little bit frustrating, even for me, for someone who's used AI
21:07for the past year and a half, ever since it started really getting popular,
21:11even I was getting frustrated. So I just know that the average user out there
21:15will probably have some frustration with using AI until it becomes more user friendly
21:19and it doesn't have as many issues, which I think it definitely does right now.
21:23But overall, for a lot of the applications that I've tried it in,
21:25it does exactly what it's trying to do. Now, does it take a long time?
21:29Sometimes, yes, sometimes upwards of 30 seconds to do something that I think,
21:34you know, ChatGPT, if I was online in ChatGPT, it would take it like five seconds.
21:39Natively in Copilot, it's taking 25, 30 seconds for some of these tasks.
21:43But with that being said, it is giving me the output that I'm asking for.
21:47For example, when we were trying to create a list of YouTube videos,
21:49it is giving me a list of YouTube videos and it is pretty similar to talking with ChatGPT.
21:55But again, it just takes a long time to get those responses and I'm kind of getting used to
22:00faster responses. And so waiting 25 seconds or so, it really does feel like a long time
22:07when you're waiting there. I know that might just be me nitpicking it, but I think for the
22:11average person, that's going to be a long wait. I genuinely think that wait time is like too long.
22:15People are so used to just instant gratification on their phones. They swipe up, there's the next
22:20video, they post something, it's there in two seconds. Like people want things to be really
22:23fast and Copilot is definitely not fast. With that being said, overall, my experience with
22:28Copilot was about a seven out of 10. I think it is vastly going to improve over the coming years.
22:34It hopefully will get faster. I think the features will expand. I think this is a really good
22:39start. I think the average person who's using it is going to enjoy some of these features.
22:43And I think that's especially true for a lot of these text summarization or creating of text,
22:48which a lot of people use ChatGPT for in Word doc, in emails, and in OneNote. These are the types
22:54of
22:54things that I think people really use a lot. In Excel, I actually found it to be quite a bit
23:00slow.
23:01I could do a lot of those things a lot faster and the limitations without having it be connected to
23:06the internet, how to save your file in OneDrive, and it can't handle a ton of data. So there is
23:11a lot
23:11limitations within Excel. I think the one thing that I probably liked more than anything was just
23:16the functions and the formulas, being able to create those. It understood what columns I was
23:20working on and then it spit it out. For almost everything else, I felt like I could do it a
23:25lot
23:25faster. And it just had limited functionality in terms of anything breaking data out, any data cleaning,
23:32really a lot of the stuff that we as data analysts would do and, you know, use with data,
23:37it really couldn't do except for, I would consider that a lot of the basics. Again,
23:41I am very pro AI, so I've been really excited about Copilot, but again, 7 out of 10 is pretty
23:46good. That's a really good start, especially since this was just released. I think in a year,
23:51two years, three years, they'll polish out a lot of these things. They'll make it a lot faster,
23:55which I think will make the user satisfaction rating go up quite a bit. So that is my full initial
23:59review of Microsoft Copilot. I will make other videos in the future about it because I really,
24:04really think that this has a lot of potential, especially because it's such a ginormous
24:09ecosystem of people who use it. So I will be keeping up to date on it. If I see any
24:14new features
24:14or anything that I think is really, really interesting, I'll be sure to make a new video
24:17about it. So with that being said, thank you guys so much for watching. If you haven't already,
