Description of Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant from Microsoft. The consumer site describes it as AI to help you get things done, with sections for creating, brainstorming, learning and solving problems, and areas named Discover, Imagine and Labs. A limited free version is available, and Microsoft says it is subject to available capacity and limits. When you reach a limit you can upgrade or return later.

Family is $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year for up to six people, but Copilot features are for the subscription owner only.

AI usage is measured in credits, and a feature may be unavailable until credits reset. Microsoft also sells Copilot for work: its business page lists $23.50 per user per month billed yearly, adding grounding in company data and Copilot Studio at the enterprise level. This record covers the free app and the individual Microsoft 365 plans. The pages we read do not list supported platforms or compliance details.
