Microsoft Copilot: A New Era of AI for Businesses of All Sizes

Microsoft is revolutionizing the way businesses operate with its AI-powered tool, Copilot. This generative AI is already transforming the work processes of giants like Visa, BP, Honda, and Pfizer. Remarkably, 40% of the Fortune 100 have participated in the Copilot Early Access Program.

What’s New with Copilot?

Microsoft is introducing a new Copilot Pro subscription for individuals and expanding Copilot for Microsoft 365 to small and medium-sized businesses. Moreover, there’s no seat minimum for commercial plans, making Copilot accessible to everyone.

“Our vision for Microsoft Copilot is to bring the power of generative AI to everyone across work and life.”

Major Updates to Copilot

Copilot Pro, priced at $20 per individual per month, is the latest addition to the Copilot product line-up. It offers foundational capabilities that run across your devices and understands your context on the web, on your PC, across your apps, and soon on your phone. Plus, it provides commercial data protection for free.

Priority Access to Latest Models

Copilot Pro users get priority access to the very latest models, starting with OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo. This access ensures faster performance during peak times and the ability to toggle between models for an optimized experience.

Enhanced AI Image Creation

With Copilot Pro, users can enjoy enhanced AI image creation with Designer for faster, more detailed image quality, and landscape image format. It also allows users to build their own Copilot GPT with the new Copilot GPT Builder.

Introducing Microsoft Copilot Studio

While Copilot Pro is designed for individuals, Copilot for Microsoft 365 is tailored for organizations, offering enterprise-grade data protection and customization options with Copilot Studio.

“Copilot for Microsoft 365 gives you the same priority access to the very latest models. It has enterprise-grade data protection which means it inherits your existing Microsoft 365 security, privacy, identity, and compliance policies.”

Microsoft’s vision for Copilot is clear: to bring the power of AI to everyone, transforming how we work and live. With these updates, that vision is becoming a reality.
