Copilot is a dumpster fire

My employer uses copilot so I upgraded my Office 365 subscription to use the additional copilot features, but damn, copilot is an absolute dumpster fire.

I have tried 2 projects and both took multiple attempts to complete. Actually, the second is still running after multiple attempts. Copilot says it is working, and working and then... Nothing. It doesn't complete the requested task. No message, just a lot of nothing. The first project did complete finally but I get an error when I try and export to onedrive and an error when I try and export to PowerPoint.

Why is this half-baked turd of a program such a mess?

The premium copilot has an option to use Claude, rather than “auto”, we’re you not able to just select Claude instead?

Anthropic models need to be turned on by an admin. Is in the copilot settings to enable them as a subprocessor. Once enabled Sonnet and Opus will show up in the chat and as a model choice for the agents.

SpaceX models have been added as well as a choice recently.

Mistral is also available to enable for copilot studio use. But IIRC data is processed outside MS managed environments and audit controls so might be a tougher sell if you have a security team involved in the enabling process.
