Microsoft Copilot

Overview

Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that leverages advanced large language models (like OpenAI's GPT series) and image generation models (like DALL-E 3) to help users with a wide range of activities. It can answer complex questions, summarize documents or web pages, generate creative text formats (like poems, code, scripts), create images from descriptions, and assist with brainstorming or research.

Accessible through a dedicated website, Windows integration, Edge browser, and mobile apps, Copilot aims to integrate AI assistance into everyday workflows. It offers a free tier for general use and a paid subscription (Copilot Pro) for enhanced features, faster performance, and access within Microsoft 365 applications (requires separate Microsoft 365 subscription). Its value proposition lies in providing quick access to information, automating tedious tasks, and boosting creative output.
