There is so much to learn about Microsoft 365 Copilot, it helps to have someone translate Copilot into practical knowledge, tips, and tricks. We chat with TJ Devine, one of Microsoft's foremost experts in Copilot - to hear how it evolves AND how best to talk about it - to understand what you can do with AI in Microsoft 365. You'll hear TJ touch on key AI innovations, core integration touch points, customer journeys with Copilot adoption, some of his favorite tips when working with Copilot, and a glimpse into the future. Small note: TJ, Mark, and Chris recorded this themselves - their real voices - no AI augmentation, just pure AI education!
