How good is Copilot really?

Recently I’ve gotten a pro license for Copilot and while I haven’t had as much time as I’d like at work to dig into it because I have four hungry cats to feed, I did go through the three and a half hour LinkedIn Learning course on getting started today.

And while I’m just beginning to scratch the surface of what Copilot is capable of the versioning I find confusing. There are things you can or can’t do based on whether you’re using a personal account or a business account, and whether the apps you’re using are PC or web based.

But something strange happened to me as I was watching the course on LinkedIn. If you me well, you know that I like to use Microsoft products with Microsoft operating systems, and Apple products with Apple operating systems (browsers, word processors, spreadsheets and so on). So as Copilot is a Microsoft product, I was using Edge (because there are features that aren’t supported in non Microsoft browers) and I found myself wanting a Windows PC instead of my trusty old Mac.

But so I don’t feel like my title is click bait, at first blush, it’s a really cool digital assistant, but to be fair I haven’t gotten into Copilot with Teams, Outlook, Loop and those apps. The other thing is I don’t have a lot to compare it to yet as i havn’t gotten into Apple Intelligence much either.

But I’m interested enough to want learn more… 😊
