How much do your agents cost? Users cant tell.
We can publicly measure the cost of someone using AI against the output of their work. If the user can’t tell the total cost of their AI work, we can create a dashboard of costs and let the workforce judge themselves openly. Since users can’t tell themselves how much compute they’re using, we make it public and make them prove the value.

Worth Reading – Why Staying Up-to-Date with Microsoft 365 Feels Like Hitting a Wall
Most are just trying to get through the overwhelming amount of work they need to do. Learning a new tool isn’t on their radar unless it can help them get that work done right this very moment.

Worth Reading – Is Microsoft 365 Copilot Tracking Your Prompts? The Real Enterprise Answer
You may read that and think that means your employer can see every prompt you enter in Copilot. To some extent, that is true; in the same way, they can see every email message or Teams chat you type with your work account. It is a work account after all. The key piece missing from that simple statement is that it’s not easy to do, and, by design, there are usually very few people who can collect and review that data. Usually, the effort required to do that isn’t worth it. So, if it has happened to you, it’s likely because someone or something has raised a suspicion that warranted an investigation. Most users never reach this level of scrutiny.

Worth Reading – Why Copilot works differently now (and why that’s a good thing)
I do appreciate that the water between the two tools is less muddy. It’s still not clear. There is still confusion among the average users, but it’s a little less murky. That’s a good thing.
