Overview
Microsoft Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant for individuals, available at copilot.com and as apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. It answers questions, searches the web with grounded answers, drafts text and generates images. Features previously known as Tasks, Project and Deep Research have been renamed Cowork, Notebook and Researcher. It is separate from Microsoft 365 Copilot for organizations, though personal Microsoft 365 subscriptions bring Copilot into Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
