Microsoft launches Copilot Pro, a paid version of its AI chatbot

Following a leak this morning, Microsoft has officially announced the launch of Copilot Pro, a paid version of its AI-powered chatbot. At least initially, the main new features of this variant are focused on improving Microsoft 365, the suite that includes various office applications, among other services.

So Microsoft Copilot Pro will cost 20 dollars per month. When you subscribe, you’ll get access to exclusive AI features in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint – native apps for Windows and Mac, web apps, and mobile apps. In addition, you will be able to use the latest OpenAI language models, as well as create your own Copilot GPT based on your needs. This latest feature is of course inspired by GPT, which OpenAI launched in November 2023.

“Introducing Copilot Pro, a new subscription that brings the most advanced features and functionality of Microsoft Copilot to people who want to enhance their Copilot experience. Whether you need advanced help with writing, coding, designing, research, or learning, Copilot Pro delivers greater productivity, productivity, and creativity.”

If we take into account that Microsoft Office 365 also requires a monthly fee. then using Copilot Pro will increase this number. Now, if you are a user who takes advantage of these applications, using artificial intelligence in your workflow will be of great help to you.

How can Microsoft Copilot Pro make you more efficient with these tools? Redmond representatives give us several examples. In Word, a chatbot can generate text from scratchrestructure paragraphs and even create summaries of long documents, and in Excel you can analyze data and create graphs. In PowerPoint you can create slides full. If you use Outlook as your email client of choice, you won’t be left behind either, as AI can support you in creating and responding to them.

Microsoft Copilot Pro is designed to improve the productivity of professionals

But perhaps the biggest benefit of Microsoft Copilot Pro is the ability to access the latest versions of OpenAI language models. Led by Sam Altman, the technology improves by leaps and bounds with every release, and being able to try it out immediately is a huge advantage.

Microsoft emphasizes that With Copilot Pro, images created with DALL-E, also owned by OpenAI, will be better than the free version.. In addition to being of higher quality, they can be created in landscape format.

Finally, of course, we have the option to create our own CopilotPro. It will be interesting to see if in the future Microsoft follows in OpenAI’s footsteps and launches its own store with community-shared chatbots.

In an interview with EdgeDivya Kumar, global director of search marketing and artificial intelligence at Microsoft, noted that they have found that interest among professional users in AI is growing. At the same time, it made them want to try out the latest developments in this technology. Copilot Pro offers you:

“There is strong demand from power users and they want faster access to the latest models, higher productivity and creative tools.”
