Microsoft has introduced a dual pricing model for its Copilot super app, combining a per-user subscription with additional usage-based billing for advanced AI functions and agentic work, requiring organisations to adopt a consumption mindset and cost governance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must shift your budget approach to handle Microsoft Copilot's new pay-per-use AI services and enforce usage limits proactively. Without active cost controls, AI agents running without constant oversight can quickly escalate your expenses.
