Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant woven throughout Microsoft's product ecosystem — from Windows and Edge to Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. Powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 models and enhanced with Microsoft Graph data, it brings AI assistance directly into the tools that billions of people use daily for work.
Copilot's power lies in its contextual awareness within Microsoft 365. It can draft emails in Outlook based on meeting notes from Teams, create PowerPoint presentations from Word documents, analyze data and create formulas in Excel, and summarize meeting recordings. For developers, GitHub Copilot (a related product) provides code assistance across major IDEs.
The basic Copilot is free in Windows and Edge, while Microsoft 365 Copilot for businesses starts at $30/user/month. It's the obvious choice for organizations running on Microsoft 365 that want AI embedded in their existing productivity stack. The enterprise version includes data protection, compliance features, and admin controls essential for large organizations.
