I had a subscription for a year and it was absolutely worthless. Has anyone found any single worthwhile use case?

Yes I regularly use it for things like “I remember communicating about subject X in 2023, please find all references to that topic since that date”, and it will search and summarize all Teams, Outlook and OneDrive datapoints that I have access to in the organization and neatly summarizing it and linking directly to said datapoints.

I also use it to play around with data and roughly graph it to understand trends without having to roll out a Jupyter notebook.

I find it quite useful.

Use it like chat got ... There is no useful integration with any ms office app. Excel copilot can't edit cells, ms teams copilot cannot look meaningfully through your messages... Never tried it for other office apps...

My partner uses it. Her use cases are often things like "go to all these URLs and collect some information from each one" or "collect all instances of X from these documents"

Yes. Worthwhile in terms of 'worth using it', not 'worth 30$ a month' though.

What I like:

- Meeting catch-up (I don't use meeting minutes much)

- Finding stuff in my messy uncategorised mailbox

- Finding stuff in sharepoint

Things that were a heavy disappointment:

- Everything in excel

- Rewriting text (it's always too noticeable that it's AI, it should be able to learn and match my style)

- Powerpoint presentation generation. It could not modify for a long time and even now it's just not useful

Tbh I only use it a few times per month where it's actually useful. For other things I've tried but it needs so much explaining to get it to do exactly what I want that it's more efficient to just do it myself.
