Microsoft Copilot

Good fit for

People who want web-grounded answers and general writing help in one assistant.

Why consider it

Combines conversational answers with web search and image creation, rather than requiring a separate tool for each task.

Main limitations

A Microsoft account unlocks features such as history, longer conversations, image creation and voice. Availability and limits vary by account, subscription and region. This entry covers the personal assistant, not Microsoft 365 enterprise deployments.

Cost and access

Free access is available; paid Microsoft plans expand eligible capabilities. Check the live plan page rather than assuming all Office integrations are free.

Getting started

Open Copilot in a browser. Sign in with a personal Microsoft account for the fuller experience.
