📋 Copilot Feature Matrix

Status: 💡 Idea Priority: 🔥 Urgent (Tier 1) Category: 🛠️ Free Tool / 💼 Official Created: 2026-04-11 Part of: Free Tools Section Planned URL: aguidetocloud.com/copilot-features/

The Problem

"What can Copilot do in Word vs Excel vs Teams vs Outlook?" — the most Googled Copilot question. Microsoft's own docs are scattered across 20+ pages with no single comparison view. Admins, users, and decision-makers need a quick reference to understand what features are available where.

The Solution

An interactive matrix showing every Copilot feature mapped to every M365 app and licence tier.

Key Features

  • Filter by app — click an app to see all its Copilot capabilities
  • Filter by feature category — Content creation, Analysis, Communication, Collaboration
  • Licence tier column — shows which features need Copilot add-on vs E7/Frontier vs Copilot Chat (free)
  • Status indicators — ✅ Available | ⏳ Coming Soon | ❌ Not Available | 🔒 Premium Only
  • Click for detail — each cell expands to show how the feature works + prompt examples
  • Cross-links — to Prompt Library (example prompts for each feature), Licensing Simplifier (which licence)
  • Data-driven — TOML data file, easy to update as Microsoft adds features
  • 100% client-side — zero cost

Why This Is Gold

  • #1 most Googled Copilot question — no single interactive comparison exists
  • Directly useful in presales — show customers exactly what they get per app
  • Pairs with Licensing Simplifier — "This feature requires E5 + Copilot add-on"
  • Pairs with Prompt Library — "Here's a prompt to try this feature"
  • Pairs with Copilot Readiness Checker — "Ready? Now here's what you can do"
  • Content loop — Tool → blog per app ("Everything Copilot can do in Excel") → YouTube demos

Tech Stack

  • Hugo template + TOML data file + client-side JS
  • CSS: own accent colour (suggest Copilot purple #7C3AED)
  • Estimated effort: 1 session
