Microsoft introduces 'Copilot Pro,' a $20/month subscription with advanced AI for 365 apps
Microsoft has launched Copilot Pro, a $20 per month subscription service offering advanced AI features in Microsoft 365 (Office) applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OneNote across Mac, Windows, and iPad devices. Initially targeted at businesses, Copilot Pro is now accessible to individual users with a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription.
The subscription also prioritizes access to the latest OpenAI models, including GPT-4 Turbo for enhanced performance during peak hours and the ability to switch between models. Additionally, subscribers also get added benefits through Designer (used in Microsoft Designer and Microsoft Copilot) for image generation, including 100 boosts per day for faster generation, detailed outputs, and landscape mode support.
The company is also introducing a Copilot GPT Builder, which allows users to build custom Copilot GPTs for specific needs or topics, quite similar to what ChatGPT has done with its recently launched GPT Store. While all Copilot users can access Copilot GPTs, only Pro subscribers can create their own using simple prompts. Microsoft is also offering Copilot for Microsoft 365 to small and medium-sized businesses, eliminating the minimum seat requirement for commercial plans.
