Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Work IQ APIs: Usage-based billing
Work IQ APIs: Usage-based billing
[Windows, Linux, Mac, Web]
Enables usage-based billing for Work IQ endpoints, allowing developers to invoke agents and capabilities without requiring pre-assigned licenses, with usage billed based on the agents and models invoked per request.
Roadmap ID:
559017
Details:
What changed:
Work IQ APIs now support usage-based billing, allowing developers to call agents and models without needing pre-assigned licenses. Previously, access required assigned licenses regardless of usage. Billing is now based on fixed or variable costs invoked per API request, improving cost transparency and flexibility.
Why:
This change removes licensing barriers for developers and aligns billing with actual usage, enabling more scalable and cost-efficient integration of Work IQ capabilities.
Try this:
Register your application to access Work IQ APIs.
Invoke Work IQ agents or models through the API without assigning licenses.
Monitor usage and billing based on the agents and models called per request.
Why this matters:
Developers can integrate Work IQ features more flexibly and pay only for what they use, reducing upfront licensing complexity.
Business impact:
Teams can adopt Work IQ capabilities incrementally without license management overhead, improving development agility and cost control.
Personal impact:
You can experiment and build with Work IQ APIs without license constraints, saving time on administration and reducing costs.
