What is Microsoft 365 Copilot for Business, by Daisy?
This AI-powered productivity partner helps UK businesses work smarter, faster, and more creatively.
Working across M365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, Copilot Business includes:
- Dedicated Chat: Secure AI assistance for daily work tasks. You can ask AI to help summarise and draft emails, create event plans based on existent documentation, or provide ideas for a project.
- Researcher: Decrease research time, whether strategy-writing, risk analysis, or market research. Simply enter and clarify your prompt, and Copilot will scour your resources, suggest relevant data to reference, and provide a report.
- Analyst: Easily generate data visualisations, by prompting Copilot for insights on data (such as directing it to an Excel sheet containing customer data, asking for analysis on customer segments). It will automatically determine how to complete the task, before generating a visual that you can export and share.
- Studio: Quickly and easily build customised versions of AI Assistants, aligned with your business goals and with low-to-no coding involved. Design, test, and publish agents as needed.
- Dashboard: Helps business and IT leaders measure Copilot usage, enabling you to identify areas where productivity is being increased post-adoption, and areas for growth. Plus, gather employee feedback and access resources on AI market trends – all so you can drive meaningful change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Copilot Business builds memory and understanding from your data and interactions, so that it can deliver dynamic, real-time insights and customisable reports.
It does all this while operating within your organisation’s security and privacy boundaries; making it secure, personalised, and accurate.
This dedicated learning is designed to empower employees and managers with actionable intelligence; providing the tools to make informed, data-backed decisions that improve business performance.
Copilot makes your working days easier, not harder.
From the moment you launch, Copilot provides quick wins.
Options for actions appear within apps like Outlook so that with just one click, Copilot can help triage your inbox, summarise your unread emails, or draft a reply.
Essentially, Copilot is intuitive; it’s aware of the tasks it can assist you with, and it makes it easy for you to request assistance.
For your business, this means less effort is spent on small daily tasks, and more effort can be focused on the bigger picture.
It’s common for organisations to have a mix of Microsoft 365 packages within the same business (eg some users on Business Premium, some on Apps for Business).
Copilot licenses are assigned to individual users, rather than to an organisation as a whole – meaning that Copilot can be rolled out per user no matter which M365 package the users have.
Copilot Business is perfect for small companies with limited resources and without in-house IT.
For example, Copilot App Builder allows anyone to build a simple, functional app within Microsoft 365 Copilot just by describing it. For instance, a user could say ‘Build me a shift scheduling app for my team’ and Copilot will generate a basic scheduling application.
While Copilot for Business and each of our Microsoft 365 packages includes a level of security – such as ransomware defence, virus protection, and Multi-Factor Authentication – Business Premium is the only one that comes with more advanced security features. This automatically includes Microsoft Intune (for device protection), Microsoft Entra P1; data-loss prevention; and basic audit and eDiscovery capabilities.
Plus, Daisy is now able to offer the Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Defender suites as a significantly discounted add-on to Business Premium – providing customers with business-grade security, mailbox protections, and data compliance software, at a fraction of the regular cost.
Daisy’s UK-based team can assist in finding the best backup and recovery solutions to fit hand-in-hand with your chosen Microsoft plan – ensuring your business continuity is protected in case of any incident.
