Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here with some exciting news from Microsoft. Get ready to unlock the power of AI in your Office apps because Microsoft is making its Copilot available to all businesses, big and small!
Previously, only enterprise customers with a minimum of 300 users could access Copilot for Microsoft 365. But now, Microsoft is removing that seat requirement, allowing businesses of any size to enjoy the benefits of this AI-powered assistant. No more exclusivity!
In a recent chat with The Verge, Divya Kumar, global head of marketing for search and AI at Microsoft, expressed the company’s decision to open up Copilot to businesses of all sizes. They understand the demand and interest from small and medium-sized businesses, so they’re making it more accessible.
But that’s not all. Microsoft is also expanding the availability of Copilot by removing the need for specific Microsoft 365 plans. Now, Office 365 E3 and E5 customers can also benefit from Copilot inside Office apps. Even Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Business Premium subscribers can get in on the action for just $30 per user, per month.
So, what exactly can Copilot do? Well, it can generate text or alter paragraphs in Word, making document creation and editing a breeze. It can even help you create PowerPoint presentations based on Word documents and assist you with features like PivotTables in Excel. Think of it as your trusty assistant right there in your sidebar!
And if you’re a Teams user, Copilot is available there too. It’s perfect for summarizing meetings you didn’t attend or arrived late to. It can even summarize email threads in Outlook and help you draft responses with different tones or lengths. Talk about efficiency!
Now, let’s talk about the different versions of Copilot. First, there’s the regular Copilot, which is free for both consumers and businesses. It functions as a chatbot, similar to ChatGPT. Then there’s Copilot Pro, a premium option available for consumers at $20 per month. It offers AI-powered features within Office apps and beyond.
And finally, for businesses, Microsoft offers Copilot for Microsoft 365 at a price of $30 per user, per month. This premium subscription comes with even more features to enhance productivity. It’s all about customization and convenience!
So, there you have it, folks. Microsoft is breaking down barriers and bringing AI to the masses. Say goodbye to exclusivity and hello to a more efficient and creative way of working with Copilot in your Office apps. Embrace the future of technology!
