Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is developed by Microsoft, the technology company founded in 1975 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington. Copilot represents Microsoft's flagship consumer and enterprise AI assistant brand, unifying many earlier AI features under one name.

Copilot draws on Microsoft's partnership with and investment in OpenAI, combining OpenAI models with Microsoft's own models, security, and deep integration into Windows, Microsoft 365, Edge, and the broader Microsoft ecosystem.

Copilot provides conversational chat, web-grounded answers, image generation, and coding help in its consumer form, and, in Microsoft 365, embeds AI directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams for drafting, summarizing, analysis, and meeting recaps. It can ground responses in organizational data through Microsoft Graph.

For businesses, Copilot adds enterprise data protection, administrative controls, and the ability to build custom agents through Copilot Studio. It is available in the browser (including Edge), Windows, mobile apps, and across the Microsoft 365 suite.

Microsoft Copilot serves individual consumers seeking a general AI assistant and, more strategically, enterprises and small-to-midsize businesses already using Microsoft 365 who want AI embedded in their productivity apps with enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Microsoft Copilot is a product of Microsoft, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: MSFT) with no separate funding. Its AI capabilities are underpinned by Microsoft's multibillion-dollar investment and partnership with OpenAI, reported to total over $13 billion. Copilot is funded and operated entirely within Microsoft.
