Copilot with PAD (Free version)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Azrael1018 33
I have Power automate Desktop, the free version - no subscription.
 
How do I get CoPilot?  I do have a subscription to Microsoft 365 CoPilot through work and also on my personal machine.
 
This is my PAD:
 
No CoPilot option.
 
I am running version 2.512349.24355 (have yet to update for past week to latest due to this being Month End for me and don't want to potentially mess things up).

Thank you,
 
David

    Hi,
     
    Here's some steps to help you get started.
     

    The free version of Power Automate Desktop (PAD) does not include Copilot features.  You will need to use PAD under one of your accounts that has a M365 subscription.  That said, I am finding that many of the responses here are identical to ChatGPT.

     

    You can upgrade to 2.52+ without any issues, Very stable.

    I have been using free PAD for 2.5 years and have numerous flows.
     
    If I switch to one of my accounts that has a M365 subscription, can I utilize the flows from my free account?
