Free · no account, ever · Copilot Home / Code / Autopilot · which tool when
Use the new Copilot.
Know which tool when.
On 25 September 2026 Microsoft rebuilt Copilot around Home, Code and Autopilot. This site teaches those capabilities in plain English, sits them inside Microsoft 365 and MOCA, and keeps free lessons free.

What am I accomplishing?
MOCA answers which Microsoft 365 tool when, at individual, team, community and organisation level. Copilot capabilities belong in that same question.

Business optimisation makes existing work better. Business differentiation changes how you compete or serve. Name which kind of scenario you are teaching for.

Copilot adoption teaching, then programmes that hold
Point people at Home, Code, Autopilot and which-tool-when first. When you need the skill to hold after a teaching day, add Digital Learning Practice. Channel buyers see Spaced Learning Practice.
Employers, councils and housing associations pay for team programmes. That is what funds the free side. No lesson is ever paywalled, delayed, or made worse in order to sell something.
