MSFT struggling to sell Copilot to Enterprises because employees want ChatGPT instead

“The company’s [Microsoft’s] salespeople knew ChatGPT dominated the consumer chatbot market, but expected Microsoft to own the enterprise space for AI assistants thanks to decades-long relationships with corporate IT departments. But by the time Microsoft began selling Copilot to businesses, many office workers had already tried out ChatGPT at home, giving the chatbot a first-mover advantage.”
Despite negotiating with companies such as Volkswagen, Accenture and Barclays, which all signed deals for over 100,000 accounts in agreements worth ‘tens of millions’ a year, Microsoft still lags behind OpenAI in its user base, and organizations are having to encourage workers to use the chatbot.

Copilot sends annoying push notifications trying to get me to use it.

Companies are much better off with Microsoft than a startup charity. Copilot is has better real world and real-time tools. Its context cashing is a little wonky but it can be nudged back on topic. ChapGPT has a nice, easy python sandbox for analytics, but less powerful than GitHub’s. They’re both using the same models for the foreseeable future but MS is not reliant on them if any of the clouds over oai start to materialize. MS is already building their agents and tools to be universal because they’re the adults in the room.
I don’t even like Microsoft. I think VBA looks like Greek and windows is bloatware. Don’t even get me started on the Microsoft store. Still, they’re killing it in AI in every direction.

The little symbol button on the excel cell I'm on is getting fricking annoying.
(Anyone know how to remove please let me know)

Funny article given the fact Microsoft and OpenAI are in bed together at the moment and Copilot uses OpenAI's model for Copilot.
How can it be a hard sell for any customer using Microsoft 365? Essentially the same thing except Copilot can be grounded in your tenant. Just cool it with the notifications

I don't think it's necessarily the product. It's the fact that MS is forcing copilot in your face at every damn turn. Adding it to even legacy apps without permission, changing their default office365 page to show copilot by default, making laptops with copilot buttons now, etc. It's overkill and seems quite excessive.

Copilot is awesome. ChatGPT is garbage in comparison.

Any recommendations of how to use real world applications for business activities? YouTube or training? Feel behind the curve in AI automation tools.

M$FT, always late to the game. Phones, tablets, cloud, and AI. They've done nothing since windows 95 and office.
