Try Microsoft 365 Copilot free for 30 days

Microsoft’s Copilot in 30 trial is now available, giving eligible Microsoft 365 Business Premium customers a practical way to put Copilot to the test before committing to a broader rollout.

The limited-time offer* includes 25 Microsoft 365 Copilot Business licences for 30 days at no licence cost. Rather than relying on a demo to understand what Copilot could do, your team can use it in their actual working environment, across the Microsoft 365 apps and workflows they use every day.

What is Copilot in 30?

Copilot in 30 is a structured 30-day Microsoft 365 Copilot trial designed to help organisations understand where Copilot can deliver genuine value before making a broader investment. If you’re considering a wider deployment, our Microsoft Copilot consulting services can help with readiness, governance, adoption and rollout.

The difference is that this isn’t simply 25 licences switched on for a month. The trial includes Microsoft’s Work Smarter in 30 programme, which gives users practical prompts, activities and scenarios to work through during the trial. The focus moves from Outlook and email in the first week, through Teams meetings and Microsoft 365 apps, before exploring agents and more advanced AI workflows.

For organisations considering Copilot, this creates an opportunity to answer some of the questions that are difficult to answer from a demonstration alone. Will people actually use it? Where does it save time? Which teams and use cases get the most value? And does that value justify a wider rollout?

The trial includes 25 Microsoft 365 Copilot Business licences, 30 days at no licence cost, the Work Smarter in 30 programme, and practical guidance to help users get started.

Put Microsoft 365 Copilot to work in your business

The trial is designed around real work rather than practice exercises. Users can put Copilot to work across the Microsoft 365 applications they already use, giving them the chance to test it against their own emails, meetings, documents and day-to-day tasks.

In Outlook, Copilot can help users catch up on email conversations, summarise long threads and draft responses. In Teams, it can recap meetings, surface key decisions and identify actions. Across Word, PowerPoint and Excel, users can explore ways to draft content, create presentations, work with documents and analyse information more efficiently.

The trial also introduces users to agents and more advanced AI-powered workflows. This gives organisations the opportunity to look beyond individual productivity tasks and start considering where AI could support repeatable processes and ways of working.

Importantly, the aim isn’t to test every possible Copilot feature in 30 days. It’s to find a handful of useful scenarios, put them into practice and see which ones are worth continuing.

How does the 30-day Copilot trial work?

The Work Smarter in 30 programme provides a simple structure for the month so users aren’t handed a licence and left to work out what to do with it.

1. Week one focuses on Outlook and taking control of the inbox, with users trying Copilot for tasks such as summarising conversations and drafting emails.
2. Week two moves into Teams, where the focus shifts to meetings, recaps, decisions and actions.
3. In week three, users explore Copilot across Word, PowerPoint and Excel and look at where it can reduce the time spent creating, drafting and working with information.
4. The final week introduces agents and more advanced ways to automate repetitive work.

That progression matters because one of the biggest questions with any Copilot rollout isn’t whether the technology works. It’s whether people actually adopt it and find useful ways to incorporate it into their work.

During the trial, organisations can review active users, prompt activity and adoption across Microsoft 365 apps alongside feedback from participants. By the end of the 30 days, you should have a much clearer picture of where Copilot is saving time, which teams and workflows are getting value and where a broader rollout could make sense.

Who is eligible for the Copilot 30-day trial?

A1 Technologies is offering Copilot in 30 to eligible Microsoft 365 Business Premium customers that want to evaluate Copilot before committing to a wider deployment.

With 25 trial licences available, organisations can choose a meaningful group of users rather than testing Copilot with one or two people in isolation. Microsoft recommends selecting people who already collaborate across meetings, documents, emails and shared projects, so users can apply Copilot to connected work and share what they learn during the trial.

For organisations that have been considering Microsoft 365 Copilot but aren’t yet sure where it will deliver the greatest value, the 30-day trial provides a practical way to find out.
