What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 provides the core productivity tools businesses rely on, while Copilot adds optional AI-powered assistance to eligible plans, helping users work faster without replacing existing workflows.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is the evolution of Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365, combining cloud-based productivity tools with optional AI capabilities designed for modern working.
The platform includes familiar applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams, delivered securely via the cloud and kept up to date automatically. Copilot features can then be added to eligible plans to provide AI-assisted productivity inside Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft 365 provides cloud-based productivity tools such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. Microsoft 365 Copilot adds optional AI-powered features that can assist users within those apps. Copilot is an add-on to eligible Microsoft 365 plans rather than a replacement.
