What Microsoft Announced
[This section will be updated with keynote highlights, Cowork demo details, and Agent 365 announcements from the March 17-19 Microsoft Summit.]

E7 Pricing in Context
Microsoft confirmed the M365 E7 tier at $99/user/month — positioning it as the all-inclusive AI suite for enterprise. Agent 365, their standalone agent product, comes in at $15/user/month. Both use per-seat pricing that scales linearly with team size.
JieGou uses flat-rate pricing: $149/month for the Team plan (unlimited users) and $49/month for Pro (up to 10 users). The difference compounds quickly as teams grow.
| Team Size | JieGou Team | Agent 365 | M365 E7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 people | $1,788/yr | $1,800/yr | $11,880/yr |
| 25 people | $1,788/yr | $4,500/yr | $29,700/yr |
| 50 people | $1,788/yr | $9,000/yr | $59,400/yr |
At 10 users, Agent 365 and JieGou Team are nearly identical in cost. But at 25 users, Agent 365 costs 2.5x more. At 50, it’s 5x. E7 is 6.6x more expensive than JieGou at just 10 users, and that gap only widens.
For teams under 10, JieGou’s Pro plan at $49/month ($588/year) undercuts both Microsoft options significantly. And unlike per-seat models, JieGou’s pricing doesn’t penalize you for growing your team.
What This Means for Teams
The fundamental architectural difference between Copilot Cowork and JieGou isn’t pricing — it’s scope. Cowork automates individual tasks: draft this email, summarize that document, schedule this meeting. It’s task-first automation that makes individual workers faster inside Microsoft 365 apps.
JieGou automates departments. A customer support department gets a complete workflow: messages come in from LINE, WhatsApp, Instagram, or email, get routed by intent, answered by AI with human approval gates, and logged with full audit trails. A marketing department gets campaign orchestration across channels. An HR department gets onboarding automation that spans document processing, scheduling, and compliance checks. The unit of automation isn’t a task — it’s a team.
This distinction matters for long-term ROI. Task-first automation delivers incremental productivity gains per person. Department-first automation restructures how entire teams operate, eliminating handoffs, reducing coordination overhead, and enabling workflows that span multiple systems. Per-seat pricing aligns with task-first thinking — you’re paying to make each person faster. Flat-rate pricing aligns with department-first thinking — you’re paying to automate a function, regardless of how many people are involved.
