Microsoft patents that introduces GPT models as a co-pilot for game designers and players. The AI system treats players as co-creators, with their interactions and engagement metrics evolving the game's narrative and gameplay in real-time.

I live in Germany, and I do not have a Microsoft 365 or any other Microsoft related subscription, yet I just now reached my daily message limit with Copilot for the first time ever. I never have had a limitation for how many prompts I was able to send. Did they just roll that out for other regions than the US? I'm so confused, and I couldn't find anything about it, so I thought maybe someone here has an idea of what happened or why I had unlimited messages until now.

Edit: Also, I have to be logged in to use Copilot. Beforehand, aka. yesterday, I was able to access the site without login, now it immediately redirects to the Microsoft login page.

Group Chats, podcasts, Labs, and Deep Research are getting axed from Copilot this month, plus a full app merger. This feels like Microsoft indirectly admits the sprawl wasn't working.

Thought I'd share this hilarious assessment from our IT for a support ticket I submitted about copilot giving incorrect directions for the prompt where I asked how to disable auto-summaries. He ended the conversation with this gem of a statement :D

Before anyone gets upset about the "living with cancer" bit, my mother succumed to endometrial cancer after a year-long losing battle, and I'm on a premature colorectal cancer watchlist. So the analogy to the grief and suffering with a painful and unwanted condition that is with us every day and we can do nothing about is quite intentional.

Starting April 20, Microsoft will begin including Security Copilot with Microsoft 365 E5, removing the need for a separate purchase or manual provisioning.

Rollout timeline 
🔹 From April 20, 2026 to June 30, 2026, Microsoft will enable this in phases 
🔹 Tenants will receive a notification 7 days before enablement and again on the day it goes live

What’s included 
- 400 Security Compute Units (SCUs) per month per 1,000 user licenses
- Up to 10,000 SCUs per month 
- Core agentic experiences across Entra, Intune, Purview, Defender, and the Security Copilot portal 
- Developer tools and APIs for custom agents and integrations

Important note 
Some advanced scenarios will still require additional cost, including: 
• Sentinel data lake compute and storage 
• Non-agentic Data Security Investigations in Purview 
• Azure Logic Apps usage with Security Copilot 
• Third-party agents licensed through Security Store
