Microsoft Copilot

Free Microsoft assistant with frontier models behind it, tied into Windows and the Microsoft 365 apps.

The same underlying model quality as ChatGPT, met where office work already happens rather than in a separate tab. It drafts in Word, builds and explains formulas in Excel, summarises long threads and clears a backlog in Outlook, and sits one shortcut away in the Windows taskbar.

Judged purely as a standalone chatbot it is unremarkable. Inside an organisation that runs on Microsoft 365 it becomes something else: an assistant with permission to read and act across the documents, mail and calendars people already use all day, which is the whole argument for choosing it.

Pros

  • Frontier model quality inside Word, Excel and Outlook
  • Builds and explains spreadsheet formulas
  • Clears an inbox backlog by summarising threads
  • One shortcut away in the Windows taskbar

Cons

  • Unremarkable judged as a standalone chatbot
  • Only pays off inside a Microsoft 365 organisation
  • Consumer and business tiers are easy to confuse
