1:45 "it didn't use Business Central data, but still it was very useful for Business Central user." - Clarifies that the first demo used no Business Central data, so it shows general help only.

Documented features match

Enable Microsoft Copilot chat experience - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573362. Chat panel experience
Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Work with Business Central data in Microsoft Copilot, checked 2026-10-02. You can continue the conversation with follow-up questions to refine the response. Note: Article is marked prerelease / production-ready preview documentation for the new Microsoft Copilot in Business Central (version 29). Follow-up questions are covered; Copilot-suggested follow-ups and charts/tables are not described (the chat-with-copilot article only mentions suggested starter questions).

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
