I use many LLM tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, etc), I have never ever gotten any version of MS Copilot to do anything useful for me. I've been stunned at how they can use the same models that ChatGPT does, copy their use cases, and still deliver a turd.

The Github Copilot (in VS Code especially) is the only application of LLMs that I've found useful from Microsoft. I would have loved amazing Copilot support in Word for working on a large complex document, but I haven't found that to work well.

YMMV, but I found it useful for drafting a pull request on GitHub, where it basically just did all the boring work, including finding the particular line in a large codebase that was throwing the error. It wasn't a hard problem, but it still would have required a bit of mental effort on my part, and I'd rather spend that reading a book.
