A team needs a low-cost agent for a simple, high-volume FAQ used only by employees who hold Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, accessed on a Microsoft 365 channel such as Teams. Which harness keeps ongoing cost lowest for this scenario?
The GitHub Copilot harness, because its usage-based model makes simple requests cheaper than fixed per-event rates.
The standard harness, because licensed Microsoft 365 Copilot users in authenticated business-to-employee scenarios on Microsoft 365 channels draw on their subscription entitlement rather than metered credits.
All three harnesses cost the same, because Copilot Credits are the shared unit of consumption.
An organization serves an agent to employees who all hold Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses. Which harness still consumes Copilot Credits for that agent regardless of those licenses?
