What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is the assistant most people meet without installing anything: it sits in Windows, the Edge browser, Bing and a standalone app, answering questions, summarising pages and drafting text using OpenAI's latest models. A simple toggle between response styles lets you favour speed or depth, and image generation and voice conversation are built in rather than bolted on.

Its real advantage shows inside Microsoft 365, where Copilot drafts in Word, summarises meetings in Teams and analyses spreadsheets in Excel. The free consumer version is capable for daily questions, while workplace features depend on your organisation's licences. If your life already runs on Windows and Office, Copilot removes nearly all friction between you and a strong general-purpose chatbot.
