Microsoft Copilot is an AI productivity platform designed to work across Microsoft 365 applications and organizational data. It combines conversational AI with Microsoft Graph, Work IQ, business content, and productivity applications to help users research information, draft documents, analyze data, summarize meetings, manage communication, and complete multi-step work.
Copilot integrates directly with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Planner, OneNote, and other Microsoft services. Organizations can also extend Copilot with prebuilt and custom AI agents through Copilot Studio, connect external business data through Copilot connectors, and apply Microsoft security, identity, compliance, and governance controls across AI interactions.
Microsoft Copilot pricing depends on whether an organization purchases Copilot as an add-on to an existing Microsoft 365 plan or buys a combined Microsoft 365 + Copilot subscription. Some agent activity is separately metered through Copilot Credits or Azure. Copilot Studio also supports prepaid capacity and pay-as-you-go billing.
For one person who wants Microsoft 365 apps, cloud storage, security, and higher Copilot usage.
For households that want Microsoft 365 across multiple users, with Copilot AI features available to the subscription owner.
For AI power users who need extensive Copilot usage, advanced agentic AI, productivity apps, and secure cloud storage.
For intensive AI users who need Microsoft’s highest individual Copilot usage for research, analytics, visual AI, and agentic workflows.
