Microsoft Copilot Training in Washington
Across Washington, teams are running Microsoft Copilot in M365 — and asking how to plug the frontier model into the workflows Copilot alone can't handle. Seattle's tech giants (Microsoft, Amazon), Boeing and the Puget Sound life-sciences scene are pushing Copilot the furthest — frontier model integration is now the expectation. Delivered live online to every city in Washington (and in-person for teams of 8+) by Rye Smith, Claude Ambassador for Australia, on the current frontier model: Claude Opus 4.7.

Microsoft Copilot is the office. Opus 4.7 is the frontier.
We don't make you choose. The most productive teams in 2026 use both — Microsoft Copilot for the everyday, Claude Opus 4.7 for the hard, long-context work that decides quarters.
Claude Opus 4.7 — the frontier
Anthropic's flagship frontier model with 1M-token context, advanced agentic reasoning and the highest published scores on real-world coding, research and analysis tasks in 2026.
Microsoft 365 — your office
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Copilot sits inside the apps your team already lives in — we add the frontier model on top.
Two stacks, one workflow
Microsoft Copilot for inline assistance inside M365. Claude Opus 4.7 for the deep reasoning, long-context synthesis and document-heavy work Copilot alone can't handle.
What's happening on the frontier right now
The frontier moved this year. Claude Opus 4.7, released by Anthropic, is the model that finally makes enterprise-scale agentic work reliable. Here's what changes for teams already running Microsoft Copilot.
Opus 4.7 is the new frontier
Released by Anthropic in early 2026, Claude Opus 4.7 is the most capable model on the market for sustained reasoning, agentic work and long-context document analysis. Its 1M-token context window means it can read your entire annual report, a year of board papers, or every contract in a deal room — in one pass.
1M-token context changes everything
Microsoft Copilot is excellent at inline assistance, but its underlying models have shorter context windows and are tuned for fast, generic responses. For the work where you'd previously break a document into chunks and lose the thread, the frontier model now holds it all in one head.
Agentic workflows are production-ready
Opus 4.7's tool use, planning and self-correction capabilities mean it can drive multi-step workflows reliably — research, analysis, drafting, review — with a clarity Copilot's built-in agents are still catching up to.
Enterprise-grade and data-safe
Anthropic's enterprise tier ships with the same data-privacy guarantees enterprise IT teams need — no training on your inputs, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA support, EU data residency. The frontier model is no longer a research toy.
Three tiers, every skill level
From a team-wide Copilot rollout to a fully bespoke frontier cowork programme. Minimum 5, maximum 15 participants per session.
Tier 01 · Beginner
Copilot Foundations
Get every team member productive on Microsoft Copilot in M365 — Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams. Plus when (and when not) to escalate to the Claude Opus 4.7 frontier model.
Tier 02 · Intermediate
Reporting, Analysis & Synthesis
The hard work Copilot alone struggles with — multi-source synthesis, long-context document analysis, executive reporting. We hand the heavy lifting to Opus 4.7 and ship results back into M365.
Tier 03 · Advanced
Frontier Cowork — Custom Deep Dive
Tailored to your team's workflows. We pair Microsoft Copilot with Claude Opus 4.7 to build 2–3 production-grade cowork workflows you'll use from day one.
Three pillars of delivery
Designed for maximum impact and lasting skill transfer.
Frontier-model fluency
We don't just train you on Copilot. We teach you how to recognise the moment a task needs the Opus 4.7 frontier model — and how to hand it off cleanly.
Governance from day one
Data privacy, approval workflows, hallucination spotting and the team rituals that make Microsoft Copilot + frontier AI safe to deploy across marketing, ops, HR and finance.
Live, hands-on, role-based
Live online or in-person, capped at 15. We rebuild your team's actual deliverables in the room — briefs, board papers, Excel models, exec recaps.
