Microsoft's AI is changing faster than anyone can track. Find out what it'll cost before the bill tells you. In 60 minutes, you'll learn:
What's new in AI, what's already been retired, and why your AI strategy keeps going out of date
License vs. consumption: how billing works across Copilot, Cowork, and agents, and where unexpected costs appear
What tokenomics means for your AI ROI, and how bad data drives up token spend
The real story behind a $100K agent bill, and how to keep it from happening to you
Why AI adoption and cost control need to be one strategy, not two
Practical tips to govern, manage, and keep your AI costs in check
