What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is a free AI assistant you can use on the web at copilot.cloud.microsoft or as an app on desktop and mobile. Signing in is optional, but a personal Microsoft account unlocks chat history, image creation, longer conversations and voice. The free tier is subject to capacity and usage limits. Copilot Pro is no longer sold; higher limits now come with Microsoft 365 subscriptions such as Microsoft 365 Premium.

  • Free to use, even without signing in
  • Chat, image creation and voice in one assistant
  • Apps for web, desktop and mobile

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free use is subject to capacity and usage limits
  • Best features tie into paid Microsoft 365 plans
