Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is the AI assistant in Windows and Microsoft 365: text in Word, formulas in Excel, summaries in Teams.
Microsoft Copilot is the umbrella term for Microsoft's AI assistants: available as a free chat experience on the web and in Windows, and as a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot directly integrated into Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams.
Its appeal lies in its context. Copilot knows your emails, appointments, and documents, and answers questions about project status across your mailbox and SharePoint; for many companies, meeting summaries in Teams are the first tangible everyday benefit.
Compared to ChatGPT or Claude, the pure chat experience often feels weaker, and quality varies significantly depending on the Office app. Furthermore, at around $30 per user per month, M365 Copilot only pays off if your data storage is well-maintained: Copilot won't find anything useful on a chaotic SharePoint either.
Ideal for companies deeply integrated into Microsoft 365 that want a centrally manageable solution with compliance. If you're looking for the best chat experience or don't use M365, you're better off with ChatGPT or Claude.
