I don't understand, usually Microsoft is so good at naming things!

And where is Microsoft Flight Attendant, I need a cup of coffee.

Reminds me of around 2002 when MS slapped “.Net” onto everything.

Was copilot branding restricted only to their AI products?

I get that it's annoying, but also don't know what else one would do? "FooPilot is our Office AI toolset, BarWonk is our code assist tool"? There are also a lot of Claudes and GPTs. Naming things is hard.

Is this more than Google's Hangouts?

Too many. Rebranding Office 365 as Copilot 365 or whatever .. seriously?!?

They already screwed up Outlook (having to ask people “do you open the outlook app on your desktop computer, or do you type outlook.com?” And still not getting a helpful answer back from non technical people SUCKS)

Things people know that don’t need to be renamed: Windows Office Azure Xbox Bing GitHub LinkedIn

adding a “Copilot” AI “buddy” to everything is a little confusing as-is, unless the end goal is for it to be a persistent buddy for the user no matter where they are at in the Microsoft ecosystem. But rebranding entire products is crazy

Windows is the harness for Copilot

It's just one brand: Copilot

Isn’t it just their AI llm thing?
