Microsoft launches automated tool to assess Copilot readiness
Microsoft has released an automated readiness assessment for Microsoft 365 Copilot. The tool scans tenant configurations to spot gaps that slow adoption. It checks licensing, data governance settings like Purview, and app integrations. Companies with under 10% usage can get a detailed report in minutes. The feature aims to fix setup issues that leave Copilot unused despite licenses at $30 per user per month.
Before, mid-sized firms bought Copilot licenses but hit under 10% adoption. IT teams manually checked configs for Purview gaps or licensing mismatches, delaying rollouts while users stuck to ChatGPT over data fears and errors. Now this tool automates the scan, delivering a gap report fast. It clears backend hurdles so users can test Copilot reliably in apps like Teams or Outlook, reducing the pull of free alternatives and easing governance worries that stalled 73% of regulated rollouts.
Analysis
This IT fix won't magically make Copilot outperform ChatGPT – that's on your prompting skills. Demand the readiness report from IT this week, then log a Teams meeting recap with a simple action-items prompt to spike your team's usage stats before the boss pulls licenses.
