Tom Leyden
we’ll hear about that in a sec right
so I just got a few couple of news things I think the big news is that um well really depend depends on what you think but um November the 1st Microsoft are releasing their co-pilot apps for all general, general release I think for those of us who couldn’t get onto the trial I think anyone with I think it’s like a Enterprise license get access to co-pilot and that’s across word, excel, Outlook, teams, SharePoint so it’d be interesting to see what what it looks like when it’s unleashed on the general public have you put your hands on it Josh
Josh Rubens
yeah we do our guys, our guys are testing it and actually doing projects in Anga for customers at the moment yeah um um so you pay are you going to pay for the extra M365 you going pilot with some users?
Tom Leyden

I fork out any money um look I mean from what what we’re seeing on the videos everything it looks like it does your work for you just you just say I need some meeting notes and it goes there you go there’s some meeting notes for you um or um I need this report or can you read my emails for me so it looks looks good is it a silver bullet I I doubt it think it might do 80 % of your work for you it won’t do 100% right what are you seeing Josh?
