Microsoft 365 Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant integrated into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. The redesigned experience, as described by creators, adds a longer prompt box, inline formatting and inline charts, and pulls context from a user's emails, files, chats and meetings through Microsoft Graph grounding and Work IQ.
Microsoft's pages describe a multi-model setup in which an "Auto" mode weighs accuracy, speed and cost to choose a model for each request. They also list Chat, Cowork, Code and Autopilot experiences, and Agent Builder for creating work-grounded agents, with Copilot Studio for scaling and managing them. It is available on desktop, mobile and web.
It is sold as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions for individuals (Personal, Family, Premium, Pro), as business plans and add-ons, and as enterprise plans. Features and usage limits vary by plan and region, and some plans show "not available in your market" on Microsoft's US pricing pages. Enterprise Data Protection keeps prompts and responses within Microsoft 365 boundaries and Microsoft states it supports GDPR.
