🚀 Copilot Cowork Is Now GA — Powerful, But What About the Cost? Microsoft has officially launched Copilot Cowork into general availability 🌍—and to be fair, there’s a lot to like about what’s being built here 👍. From automating complex workflows 🤖 to handling long-running, multi-step tasks end-to-end, Cowork represents a real step forward in how AI can operate inside the enterprise. But alongside that innovation comes something equally important to understand: 👉 The pricing model 💰 🧠 Impressive Capability… With a Catch Copilot Cowork has already proven its value in early enterprise use: - Automating workflows that used to take days ⏱️ - Comparing thousands of files in minutes 📂 - Generating insights across large datasets 📊 There’s no question the technology is powerful. ✅ And honestly? I genuinely like the direction Microsoft is heading. 💸 The Reality: Cost Adds Up Quickly Here’s where things get more complicated. To use Copilot Cowork, you need: - 💼 Microsoft 365 Copilot - at its monthly cost - ➕ Additional usage-based costs (Copilot Credits) And those usage costs can vary a lot. 💰 Realistic cost per task: - 🟢 Light tasks: ~$1–$3 - 🟡 Medium tasks: ~$4–$7 - 🔴 Heavy tasks: $7+ per request - 📌 “Don’t look at credits — look at $ per request” 🌍 Why This Matters (In Real Terms) Let’s put that into perspective: 👉 A single $7+ request could equal: - ~60–70 minutes of minimum wage work in Poland 🇵🇱 - Even more in other parts of the world 🌎 That changes how you think about “just asking AI” 💭. 🔁 Iteration Is the Hidden Cost Driver One of the biggest realities of AI usage: 👉 People don’t just ask once. They iterate. - Generate multiple versions ✏️ - Refine prompts 🔄 - Explore alternatives 🔍 That’s normal—and necessary—for good results. But with usage-based pricing: 💥 Every iteration costs money 💥 How Costs Scale in Practice A single working session might look like: - Draft → refine → improve → rework → finalise That can easily become:

Hii I'm not sure if this is the place to ask but I wanted to know if anyone else is having trouble with helper/child agents, specifically adding inputs and then them not showing up but showing up in the code view, leading to errors and the inability to publish agents?
