Microsoft Expands Access to Copilot AI in Office Apps

Great news for businesses of all sizes! Microsoft has recently announced a significant update to its Office suite, making Copilot, its advanced AI, more accessible than ever.

Key Takeaways:

  • Microsoft’s AI-powered Copilot is now available for all businesses.
  • No minimum user requirement, accessible for $30 USD per user per month.
  • Copilot integrates with Microsoft 365 apps, enhancing productivity and collaboration.

 

Introduction

Previously, to leverage the power of Microsoft’s Copilot in Microsoft 365, businesses had to commit to a minimum of 300 users. This requirement often placed the innovative tool out of reach for smaller companies with a total cost of $9000 USD per month.

Now, Microsoft has listened to the feedback and demand from the business community and has made a game-changing decision. Businesses, regardless of their size, can integrate Copilot into their Microsoft 365 suite for just $30 USD per user per month.

This move by Microsoft democratises access to AI in the workplace, making it available to a broader range of businesses.

 

Features and Capabilities

Enhanced Productivity in Office Apps

Copilot, powered by the cutting-edge GPT-4 technology from OpenAI, acts as a digital assistant within your Microsoft 365 applications. It can work as an assistant, just like ChatGPT, and it can work within Microsoft applications like generating content in Word or creating compelling PowerPoint presentations, and even simplifying complex Excel tasks.

Additionally, Copilot works alongside Teams and Outlook enhancing collaboration and productivity. In Teams, it can summarise meetings to give you a quick overview, which is great if you weren’t able to attend or if you wanted to go over the content again in your own time. In Outlook Copilot can summarise email threads and suggest possible responses in varying tones depending on the situation.

 

Versions of Copilot

A Solution for Every Need

With three distinct versions of Copilot now available – the free version for general use, the Copilot Pro for consumers at $20 USD per month, and the premium Copilot for Microsoft 365 for businesses at $30 USD per month – there’s an AI solution for every need.
