Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is a conversational AI assistant for answering questions, creating content, generating images, and helping with Microsoft 365 tasks.
Microsoft Copilot provides AI chat through the web, Windows and Mac desktop apps, and iOS and Android mobile apps. It can answer questions, summarize information, draft content, create and edit images, generate files, and support voice conversations.
Personal users can use the standalone Copilot experience for free, while Microsoft 365 subscriptions add Copilot features in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Teams, and OneDrive.
