Microsoft Copilot
by Microsoft
Copilot is Microsoft's family of assistants, built into Windows, Edge, Microsoft 365 apps and GitHub. It is popular at work because it sits inside tools people already use.
- Office documents, email and meetings
- Developers using GitHub and VS Code
- Companies already on Microsoft 365
Check the vendor's own site for current plans, pricing and limits. Those change often.
