One of the biggest questions around Windows Copilot is how large organisations will manage access to the Microsoft’s AI chatbot. Now comes a report from WinBuzzer that “allow for a more granular deployment of Bing Chat Enterprise, catering to specific user groups within an organization.”

Previously, Microsoft 365 administrators had the ability to activate or deactivate Bing Chat Enterprise for all eligible users within their organization. However, based on feedback, Microsoft has now introduced a “ring-based” deployment method.

This approach allows businesses to introduce the chatbot to a select group of users initially, gather feedback, and then expand its availability.
