Microsoft Launches Copilot Pro for Universal Access to AI-driven Office Features
Microsoft has introduced Copilot Pro, a premium subscription priced at $20 per month, offering AI-powered features within Office apps, access to the latest OpenAI models, and the capability to create custom Copilot GPT. The company has also launched the Copilot app for iOS and Android phones and expanded Copilot availability to businesses of all sizes, including small- and medium-sized enterprises. Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, expressed excitement about extending Copilot for Microsoft 365 to a broader commercial customer base, providing a unified AI experience across various devices.
One can have access to Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote on PC, Mac and iPad for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers, said the company. “With Copilot Pro you’ll have access to GPT-4 Turbo during peak times for faster performance and, coming soon, the ability to toggle between models to optimize your experience how you choose”, said Mehdi. It allows enhanced AI image creation with Image Creator from Designer (formerly Bing Image Creator), ensuring it’s faster with 100 boosts per day while bringing you more detailed image quality as well as landscape image format.
Microsoft has expanded the availability of Copilot for Microsoft 365 to organizations of all sizes, eliminating seat minimums. The company is also empowering partners to assist businesses in adopting AI. Small businesses with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Standard can now access Copilot for Microsoft 365 at $30 per person per month for one to 299 seats. Additionally, Microsoft introduced Copilot GPTs, allowing users to customize Microsoft Copilot's behaviour on specific topics of interest. Initial Copilot GPTs, focusing on areas like fitness, travel, and cooking, have been rolled out, and Copilot Pro users will soon be able to create their own Copilot GPTs using Copilot GPT Builder.
