Microsoft 365 Copilot for staff
As a KI employee you may order user licences for Microsoft 365 Copilot, an AI tool fully integrated into the Microsoft 365 suite and Microsoft cloud services.
New name and updated interface in Copilot apps
In August 2026, Microsoft will be making changes to Copilot, including a name change for the Copilot app itself, which can be accessed online or through software on your computer, along with some changes to the user interface.
The app is being renamed Copilot. However, the differences between Copilot Chat and the Microsoft 365 Copilot licence remain – you can read more about what these entail on this page, or view a fuller overview on the page AI for staff: Copilot Chat.
- Microsoft 365 Copilot remains the name of the add-on licence that gives you access to Copilot as a feature within all individual applications in Microsoft 365. It also gives Copilot access to your entire work context, such as saved files, teams, chats, SP sites, etc. The licence is per user and is ordered through Wisum.
- Copilot Chat refers to the chat that all employees can access online. You can learn more about Copilot Chat here.
- The app will once again be named Copilot (formerly Microsoft 365 Copilot). It can be installed on KI-Karyon computers or accessed online.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can be described as an intelligent assistant that can create quick drafts of texts in Word, transcribe and summarise Teams meetings, draft presentations, and create and sort data in spreadsheets, and much more.
The tool is integrated into the entire M365 software suite and therefore provides seamless access to all your work documents and the data you have access to at Microsoft (such as files saved in OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, your chats, and groups).

How is the licence ordered?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is ordered through Wisum following the same procedures as other software licences.
If you are interested in testing the possibilities, you need to start by confirming the cost with your line manager, who will decide whether there is a work-related need for the licence.
When you order your licence in Wisum (the KI-Programvaror category), the designated attestant within your institution/department handles the order. After a couple of days, you will receive confirmation by email that your order has been processed.
The licence cost is SEK 175/month per user. The licence initially runs for one year and can then be terminated with three months' notice.
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat?
The chat tool that all employees can access does not have access to your work files or collected data stored in the Microsoft cloud. You cannot ask it to draft a PPT presentation from an attached document, to give a specific example. Nor can you ask the chat to summarise your last transcribed Teams meeting, which you can do with Microsoft 365 Copilot, directly in the app.
The AI for Staff page give you an idea and introduction to what you can do with Copilot online - which is included at no extra cost in the Microsoft 365 licence that all employees use.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, on the other hand, has an additional licence cost of SEK 175 per month per user. The licence is personal.
