Microsoft Copilot
Free AI assistant built into Windows & Office.
What is Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot brings AI chat, image creation and Office help to Windows, Edge and Microsoft 365.
Copilot is most useful to people already working in Windows, Edge and Microsoft 365. Free chat and image creation are built in, and in the paid tiers it can help draft documents, summarise email threads and work with spreadsheets inside Office itself.
The Office features that make it distinctive need a paid plan, and outside the Microsoft ecosystem it offers little that a general assistant does not.
If you live in Google's apps instead, Gemini is the equivalent fit. For a standalone general assistant, ChatGPT or Claude gives more range.
Pros
- Free to use
- Built into Windows/Office
- Free image creation
Cons
- Best Office features need Copilot Pro
