Microsoft’s AI Copilot may be coming to your office

Microsoft's AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, is being integrated into the company's enterprise Microsoft 365 subscription as a smart assistant tool named Copilot. The tool, which costs $30 per user license on top of existing subscription fees, can turn Word documents into PowerPoint presentations, draft email responses, summarize video meetings, and automate other tasks. Some businesses that had early access to Copilot reported that it saved them five to 10 hours per month.

Analysts predict that by the end of next year, nearly 6.9 million knowledge workers in the US could be using Copilot, potentially earning Microsoft $10 billion in annual revenue by 2026. However, tech experts advise users to check the bot's work for errors before finalizing tasks, as AI can often make mistakes.
