Copilot Studio: Track Cost Savings Fast

Key insights

• Measure Cost Savings: This YouTube Short explains a new Copilot Studio feature that calculates time and money saved when using autonomous agents versus traditional methods.
  Enter the estimated cost and time of the conventional approach, and the tool shows savings per run or per tool use.
• ROI and prioritization: Teams can use the calculated savings to build business cases, prioritize high-impact agents, and track cost-efficiency over time.
  Admins can also turn off money-saving calculations at the environment level if needed.
• Copilot Studio and agentic AI: The feature fits into Copilot Studio’s vision of building agentic AI—agents with high autonomy, adaptive planning, tool use, and collaboration—to automate complex processes and boost productivity.
• PAYGO usage meter: Copilot Studio adds a pay-as-you-go meter that measures costs tied to agent activity and tool usage, helping organizations forecast and manage expenses.
  This makes financial tracking more transparent for AI projects.
• Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat: Integration lets organization users interact with shared agents in Copilot Studio without extra per-user licensing, which can increase adoption and everyday use.
• Security and DLP: The update includes improved data loss prevention and wider language support to protect sensitive data and broaden enterprise usage.
