What Is Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant embedded across the entire Microsoft ecosystem — Windows, Edge browser, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook. It is powered by OpenAI’s models and offers the most seamless AI experience for Microsoft 365 users. The free “Copilot Chat” tier is genuinely powerful, offering AI chat, web search, and image generation at no cost — though it cannot access your organisation’s internal files.
Honest Review
Microsoft Copilot is the best AI choice for organisations already invested in Microsoft 365. The free Copilot Chat tier is one of the most generous available — AI with web search and image generation at zero cost — but note it does not connect to your company’s internal data. For M365 users, Copilot Pro at $20/month unlocks AI directly inside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, while teams need M365 Copilot Business ($21/user/mo) or Enterprise ($30/user/mo) added on top of a base M365 licence. Prices are rising in July 2026. Outside the Microsoft ecosystem, ChatGPT or Claude are more capable and flexible.
