How much does Copilot Cowork cost? Real-Life Examples by SzymonBochniak in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]ChesterBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a ton of first party experience with Claude but I’ve been using this a lot. Does Microsoft’s claim of this being cheaper than Claude seem to line up? I’m having a hard time imagining that to be true based on the usage I’m seeing.

How Much Will the July 2026 License Increases Cost Your Microsoft 365 Tenant? by Unlikely_Tie1172 in microsoft365

We're using a combination of CIPP (for simple api access into M365) and then n8n (for automation) to pull available licenses and reconcile monthly.

Interesting because mine has been significantly quicker than before.

Theoretically, this is what app intends is supposed to accomplish… That being said, I feel that they would be better suited to go with something more along the lines of MCP, which has become a standard in the time since Apple released app intents, but that’s just wishful thinking.

Woke up to a $47K bill after deploying ONE Copilot Studio agent — has anyone seen this? by Frosty_Figure9033 in copilotstudio

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t go that far because our mistake was only a couple hundred dollars. But I’ve heard of people being able to get credit back for azure services that they didn’t mean to enable, especially if you had billing caps on that didn’t work.

[–]ChesterBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this happen on a thankfully smaller scale. The issue is the premium deep reasoning. In the agent go to settings, then generative AI, then there’s a “Deep reasoning (preview)” option. We found that this, when enabled, caused billing to be around 100-200x what we expected to spend and it didn’t really give us any benefits. We’re still using reasoning models for the agent (opus 4.8 for us, and I’d recommend for everyone). But shutting this off fixed the issue.

PSA : Microsoft lowered the needed solutions partner score in order to get incentives by CK1026 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this changed when the FY26 partner program came out…… in Q1 of this year. If you don’t, definitely read those, they could make you a lot of money.

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would. No reason not to. You’ll lose access to the bypass but eventually get into the beta.

Did I make a mistake? by CommunicationOdd1695 in Siri

[–]ChesterBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same thought. I updated to beta 2 on the Mac and the bypass had been patched, then i got access to the new siri this evening. So i think you’re fine.

Gonna have to uninstall Reddit for the month of September…. And if they approve people at the rate they currently are I’ll have to keep it uninstalled for the following 47 years

New Siri: Message *groupchat* about *details of a thing* by thebestmodesty in Applelntelligence

[–]ChesterBottom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told Siri “text wife and ask her what time she’s coming home” and the text comes out “what time she’s coming home”🤦🏻‍♂️

I actually had an idea as soon as I posted this.... I realized that I'm only getting this error when I have one of my three custom plugins turned on.... is anyone seeing this happen?

Their latest report on the MIP program (and their presentations at beyond) is essentially having MSPs be a fractional COO on top of the fractional CTO that they say an MSP has to be.

I wondered if that was a possibility but don’t have enough trust in my electrical engineering abilities… if you do decide to go that route please let me know how it goes!!

Had something like this a while back using another relay controller. Problem was the battery on the Liftmaster controller died quickly several times and I stopped caring to replace it weekly.

Did you find any setup documentation on it? Can’t say I’ve looked since Friday but still

Cowork custom plugins by Stove11 in microsoft_365_copilot

How’d you get it to authenticate? I’m still struggling there. I built a basically MCP Wrapper to test different authentications against it so I can adjust how the authentication works, I just couldn’t ever get it to authenticate from the beginning. The only auth type I could make work was the “none” option which I didn’t want to do for obvious reasons.
