AI assistant embedded across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams — automates office work at enterprise scale.
Microsoft Copilot is the AI layer embedded across Microsoft 365. Unlike standalone AI tools, Copilot works inside the apps you already use — drafting emails in Outlook, summarising meetings in Teams, building Excel models, and creating PowerPoint decks.
Microsoft 365 Copilot costs $30/user/month on top of existing M365 plans. The standalone Copilot app is free with limited features.
Capabilities: Word (generate, rewrite, summarise documents), Excel (analyse data, create formulas from plain English), PowerPoint (create full presentations from prompts), Outlook (draft replies, summarise threads), Teams (real-time meeting summaries, action item extraction), and Microsoft 365 Agents (autonomous workflow automation).
For organisations invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, Copilot is the AI layer that connects and accelerates everything without requiring new tools or logins.
Pros: Deepest Microsoft 365 integration, works in all Office apps, enterprise security and compliance, excellent Teams meeting intelligence.
Cons: Expensive at $30/user/month, quality inconsistent across apps, requires M365 subscription.
Best for: Enterprise organisations and Microsoft 365 users who want AI built into their existing Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams workflows.
