Microsoft Copilot
AI assistant built into Microsoft 365 and Windows
About Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant built on OpenAI's GPT-4 models, integrated across Microsoft's consumer and enterprise product ecosystem. In its consumer form, it is available free in Windows, the Edge browser, and Bing, providing general-purpose AI assistance with real-time web access. In its enterprise form — Microsoft 365 Copilot — it is deeply embedded into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, enabling users to draft, summarize, analyze, and automate tasks using natural language directly within the tools they use every day. For organizations already invested in Microsoft 365, Copilot represents the most seamlessly integrated AI productivity layer available, removing the need to context-switch between a separate AI tool and core work applications.
