Microsoft has deployed its own Copilot for customer service internally, for Azure support.

Judge as of 2023-11-15. TRUE: evidence shows that by that date Microsoft had deployed a Copilot or AI assistant for customer service (for example, Dynamics 365 Copilot for customer service) within its own Azure support operations, used by support staff or customers. A pilot or limited internal rollout already in use counts as deployed. MOSTLY TRUE: it was deployed internally for customer service, but in a slightly different support group (for example, broader Microsoft support that includes Azure), or the product name differs slightly. MIXED: it was deployed for customer service internally but not for Azure support, or it was only partly in use and the claim overstates how far. MOSTLY FALSE: it was only planned or announced and not in use by that date, or the internal use was not for customer service. FALSE: the evidence shows Microsoft had not deployed any such Copilot for its own customer service or Azure support by that date.
