Microsoft Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Microsoft AI. Launched in 2023, it serves as Microsoft's primary replacement for Cortana. Copilot is built upon OpenAI's GPT-4 and GPT-5 series of large language models. It can generate text, create presentations, summarize content, analyze data, and streamline workflows across various Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Copilot utilizes the Microsoft Prometheus model, combining Bing search results with the power of the GPT models.
Microsoft Copilot is available in several versions, including a free "Copilot Chat" for general queries. For individuals, Copilot Pro is available for $20 per user per month, offering priority access to advanced AI models and creative tools. Microsoft 365 Copilot, designed for business and enterprise users, is priced at $30 per user per month as an add-on to existing Microsoft 365 subscriptions. This version integrates deeply with Microsoft 365 apps, providing enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance.
