Key points
- Claude model integration in 2025 improved PowerPoint slide generation and Excel data tasks, per user reports

- Work IQ feature combines Office data (emails, Teams transcripts) with Copilot for project summaries and drafts

The author, a Microsoft 365 user, concludes Copilot’s quality now justifies the cost for businesses already using the suite.
Microsoft Copilot has finally reached a quality worth paying for (I think)
