What Is Microsoft Copilot?
Copilot is an AI assistant built directly into the Microsoft 365 apps your team already uses. It learns from your organisation's data to provide relevant, contextual help.
Write Faster
Draft emails, documents, and presentations in seconds. Copilot gives you a solid starting point that you can refine, saving hours of blank-page paralysis every week.
Find Anything Instantly
Search across all your files, chats, and emails using natural language. Just ask a question and Copilot pulls the answer from your entire Microsoft 365 environment.
Summarise Everything
Missed a Teams call? Need the key points from a 30-page document? Copilot gives you clear, concise summaries with action items so you can catch up in minutes.
Your Team Is Drowning in Busywork
The average knowledge worker spends more than half their day on tasks that don't require deep thinking. Copilot gives that time back.
Information Overload
Your team spends hours every day reading emails, searching for files, and catching up on meetings. That time adds up fast, and it's pulling people away from meaningful work.
Repetitive Tasks
Writing status updates, formatting spreadsheets, creating slide decks... these are important tasks, but they shouldn't eat up your best people's most productive hours.
Knowledge Silos
Critical information is scattered across emails, chat threads, and shared drives. When someone asks a question, finding the answer often means interrupting three different people.
Copilot Works Where You Work
No new apps to learn. Copilot is embedded directly into the tools your team already opens every day.
Copilot in Word
Write first drafts, rewrite paragraphs, or summarise long documents. Ask Copilot to change the tone, make it shorter, or expand on a point.
Copilot in Excel
Analyse data by asking questions in plain English. Create formulas, charts, and pivot tables without needing to be a spreadsheet expert.
Copilot in PowerPoint
Turn a Word document or rough notes into a polished presentation. Generate slides, add relevant images, and create speaker notes automatically.
Copilot in Outlook
Draft email replies, summarise long threads, and schedule meetings. Get through your inbox faster without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
Copilot in Teams
Catch up on meetings you missed, get real-time summaries during calls, and find information buried in past conversations. Never ask 'what did I miss?' again.
Microsoft 365 Chat
Ask questions about your work data across all your apps. Copilot connects the dots between emails, files, and chats to give you complete answers.

AI That Delivers Real Results
Businesses that deploy Copilot with StartCloud see measurable time savings and faster adoption across their teams.
Why Choose StartCloud?
Copilot is only as good as the rollout behind it. We make sure your team actually uses it, loves it, and gets real value from it.
Security-First Deployment
Before turning on Copilot, we review your Microsoft 365 permissions and data governance. Your AI assistant should only access what it's supposed to.
Adoption Workshops
We don't just flip a switch. Our workshops show your team exactly how to use Copilot in their daily workflows, with real examples from their own roles.
Champion Programme
We identify enthusiastic early adopters in your team, train them first, and use their success stories to drive organisation-wide adoption naturally.
Measurable ROI
We track usage and productivity metrics so you can see exactly how Copilot is helping. No guesswork, just data showing the time and effort your team is saving.
Pricing
Fixed price, agreed before we start
The price depends on user count and remediation scope. Copilot licences from Microsoft are additional. Not sure your data is ready? Start with an AI Readiness Assessment first.
Common Questions
How much does it cost to deploy Microsoft Copilot for a small business in Australia?
Copilot licences cost around $45 to $50 per user per month from Microsoft. A properly secured deployment with StartCloud, including permission remediation and training, is a one-off fixed fee quoted after we scope your user count and remediation needs.
Why not just buy the licences and turn it on?
Because Copilot exposes whatever your permissions allow. Most SME tenants have years of accumulated oversharing. Turning Copilot on without remediation is the most common way businesses discover their HR folder was open to all staff.
How long does deployment take?
Typically 3 to 6 weeks including remediation, rollout, and training.
Do you support Copilot after deployment?
Yes. Ongoing management is available under our AI Care recurring service, and Copilot support is included for our managed IT clients.
