by | May 20, 2026 | AI, IT News & Insights New Zealand | Cybersecurity, AI & Microsoft Updates, TIPS TRICKS AND HINTS

Copilot is moving fast, and a few of the newest features really are game-changers for busy teams.

In this practical 30-minute session, Rhys Kerrigan and Ben Fish from the Kambium productivity team (part of Kinetics Group) run through some of their favourite new Copilot features, across both the free and paid versions. Plain English, and focused on what matters: getting time back, cutting busywork and making Microsoft 365 work the way your business does.

Who it’s for

  • CEOs, GMs and operations leads who want productivity wins without extra overhead
  • office managers and team leaders trying to cut admin and repetition
  • anyone on Microsoft 365 who suspects they’re only getting a fraction of the value

What’s covered

Agent Mode. Ben explains Copilot’s new agent mode, where it’s available across the Microsoft 365 apps, what it can automate, and shows real examples in Outlook and PowerPoint.

Claude inside Copilot. Claude is now available in Copilot as an alternative to OpenAI’s GPT models. Ben covers the strengths of each and how to choose or compare models for different jobs.

Copilot Cowork. An in-depth look at Cowork, which acts like an AI colleague that can plan, carry out and manage multi-step work across Microsoft 365, with practical examples and how to customise its skills.

Security and governance. Rhys and Ben answer questions on the risks of staff building their own agents, data governance, sharing Cowork skills and data privacy in Copilot and Claude, with advice on good practice and current limitations.

Two small features with big impact. Image editing in PowerPoint for quick visual tweaks, and “vibe coding” in Power Apps, including building an expense submission app live.

Q&A. Using Copilot or Claude for a brand refresh, sharing Cowork skills, and deploying and licensing AI-built Power Apps.
