Microsoft Copilot is the AI assistant made by Microsoft. It started as Bing Chat in February 2023 and took the Copilot name later that year. It answers questions with web results, writes text, creates images and helps with everyday tasks.
Copilot is built into Windows, the Edge browser and Bing, and it also has its own apps for iOS and Android. It uses models from OpenAI along with Microsoft's own models. Features include voice chat, a vision mode that can look at what is on screen, and image creation. Users can share conversations and keep a history of past chats. Copilot can also read web pages open in Edge and summarize them.
The consumer version is free. Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers get Copilot inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Businesses can buy Microsoft 365 Copilot, which works with company email, files and meetings and follows the organisation's security settings. Microsoft is based in Redmond, Washington.
