About Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is Microsoft's consumer AI assistant, built into Windows, the Edge sidebar, and across Microsoft 365.
It's integrated directly into Windows as a system-level assistant and available as a sidebar in Microsoft Edge. It runs on OpenAI's GPT models, including GPT-4 for complex queries, and includes DALL-E image generation.
It fits people already living in Windows and the Microsoft ecosystem who want an assistant on hand across their apps. Two limits to note: the tightest integrations are gated to the Microsoft ecosystem, and free-tier usage is throttled and subject to peak-time limits — advanced features require a Microsoft Copilot Pro or Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
Among AI chatbots and assistants, Copilot's differentiator is distribution — it ships inside Windows and Microsoft 365 rather than living as a separate app you open.
