About Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is the enterprise AI assistant embedded across the entire Microsoft 365 suite. Unlike standalone chatbots, Copilot lives inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more—drafting emails, summarizing meetings, analyzing spreadsheets, and creating presentations from your business data. The $30/user/month enterprise add-on requires an existing M365 E3/E5 license ($36-$57/month), making it expensive but incredibly powerful for organizations already on Microsoft infrastructure. Consumer users get Copilot Pro at $20/month for personal M365 apps, or free basic access. The 2025 updates introduced role-based agents and Copilot Studio for custom workflows.
