About Microsoft Copilot


Microsoft Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Microsoft. Launched in February 2023 as Microsoft’s primary replacement for the discontinued Cortana. The service was initially called Bing Chat and was featured as a built-in feature for Microsoft’s search engine Bing and Microsoft’s web browser Edge.

Microsoft Copilot sells the power of its AI to boost “productivity, unlock creativity, and help you understand information better with a simple chat experience.” It coordinates large language models (LLMs), content in Microsoft Graph, and Microsoft 365 productivity apps, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and others.

There are different versions of Copilot:

  • Copilot Free: The basic version that allows you to create original content and answer questions.
  • Copilot Pro: A more robust version for your creativity and productivity that costs $20/month.
  • Copilot for Microsoft 365: This version is optimized for your organization’s Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Business Premium subscription.
