Microsoft’s AI assistant for the workplace, Microsoft 365 Copilot, is gearing up for a November 1 launch for enterprise customers. Priced at $30 per user per month, Copilot builds on Bing Chat Enterprise and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 Apps.
The system employs responsible AI practices, which means it adheres to ethical guidelines and ensures that AI-powered interactions are fair, unbiased, and aligned with ethical principles.
Promising security, privacy, and compliance, Copilot ensures all data processing happens within your Microsoft 365 tenant. This responsible AI tool goes beyond simple Q&A, combing through emails, meetings, chats, documents, and web content to solve complex work problems.
Microsoft 365 Copilot was initially made available to tens of thousands of enterprise users through its Early Access Program (EAP). This phase allowed Microsoft to gather feedback and refine the product based on real-world usage.
Thousands of users from companies such as Visa, General Motors, KPMG, and Lumen Technologies have benefited from Copilot during its Early Access Program. Now, it’s set to assist businesses everywhere in streamlining their work processes and boosting productivity.
Microsoft also introduced Copilot Lab, a resource to help users learn how to work effectively with AI. It guides using AI prompts and aims to assist users in building new work habits in the AI-powered era of productivity.

Additionally, Bing Chat Enterprise includes an Image Creator feature, allowing users to generate creative and informational visual content. This platform is included in various Microsoft 365 plans, specifically Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium.
