Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Microsoft Copilot for free?

Yes, but this is purely just as a chat agent that does not have the ability to integrate into your Microsoft 365 data or create files and applications etc. Think of it as a direct competitor to what you can achieve just using ChatGPT.

How do I get access to Microsoft Copilot?

You must contact a Microsoft partner such as Valto in order to obtain the Microsoft Copilot licenses for you.

Is Microsoft Copilot better than ChatGPT?

Yes, Microsoft Copilot will not only allow you to tap into the vast knowledge and power of AI just like ChatGPT, but it will also allow you to leverage your work data and create files in Microsoft Word, Power Point, Excel and more!

Why can’t I see Microsoft Copilot?

You must make sure that you have not only purchased a license but assigned it to your user profile within the Microsoft 365 admin centre. If you need help with licenses please contact Valto today.

What can you ask Microsoft 365 Copilot to do for you?

It can save you time across multiple Microsoft 365 products. Including summarising and responding to emails inside of Microsoft Outlook, Creating a report in Microsoft Word from a requirements discussed in a Microsoft Teams meeting, even creating a summary presentation for it in Microsoft PowerPoint and so much more!

Is Copilot included in Office 365?

No, you must purchase an additional license on top of the business or enterprise license packages you currently have purchased. However, you can co-term the licenses, meaning you only need to commit to Copilot for the remaining length of your existing license term.

Which is the best Microsoft partner for Copilot services?

Valto have always been on the cutting edge of Microsoft 365 technology and continue to evolve as new technology such as Microsoft Copilot is released.

We are early adopters and have been running trails of Copilot internally since the first release wave. This allowed us to fully understand the value proposition of the products, the good and challenging elements that must be considered.

This process ensured we could develop a service offering for our clients that is better than any other Microsoft partner.

How can I install Microsoft 365 Copilot?

The first step is to reach out to Valto to ensure you have the correct licenses for your users. Once you have licenses applied users will not need to install Copilot, but instead they will start seeing a button to use it within all of their Microsoft 365 office applications including: Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft Outlook and more.
