Microsoft is adding the free Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and agents to Office
apps for all Microsoft 365 business users today. From a report: Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote are all being updated with a Copilot Chat
sidebar that will help draft documents, analyze spreadsheets, and more
without needing an additional Microsoft 365 Copilot license. "Copilot Chat is
secure AI chat grounded in the web -- and now, it's available in the
Microsoft 365 apps," explains Seth Patton, general Manager of Microsoft 365
Copilot product marketing. "It's content aware, meaning it quickly
understands what you're working on, tailoring answers to the file you have
open. And it's included at no additional cost for Microsoft 365 users." While
this free version of Copilot will rewrite documents, provide summaries, and
help create slides in PowerPoint, the $30 per month, per user Microsoft 365
Copilot license will still have the best integration in Office apps. The
Microsoft 365 Copilot license is also not limited to a single document, and
can reason over entire work data.
