- Microsoft introduces new Copilot Chat AI tool
- Available as part of your existing Microsoft 365 subscription
- Copilot Chat brings creativity, collaboration and productivity through AI
Microsoft continues its mission to put its Copilot AI platform in the hands of as many users as possible with a new expansion.
The company has announced Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, an update to the current free chat tool on its office software platform that will provide access to artificial intelligence tools at no additional cost.
The move will mean that everyone in your company will now be able to take full advantage of Copilot and AI agents, bringing workers at all levels up to speed with the latest technology.

The new edition will provide a secure AI chat service powered by GPT-4o, with agents accessible directly from the chat.
It will be offered alongside the current $30 Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, meaning customers can tailor their AI investment to the needs of their workforce, and access to agents can be priced metered.
All of Copilot’s existing familiar capabilities will be included in the new chat services, and users will be able to upload any document and then ask questions or have Copilot perform tasks such as summarizing or analyzing data.
There’s also access to Copilot Pages, enabling greater collaboration across your business with co-workers and AI services, and the ability to create and add AI-generated images to bring your presentations to life.
AI agents can be created directly within Copilot Chat using natural language, which will hopefully increase productivity and free up time previously spent on manual processes or tasks. Agents can also be created for the entire company thanks to Copilot Studio, with agents deployed to all workers who need them.
“Copilot Chat enables your entire workforce, from customer service reps to marketing leads to front-line technicians, to start using Copilot and agents today,” said Jared Spataro, CMO AI at Work at Microsoft, in a post of blog.
“In the future, every organization will have a combination of Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot, our best-in-class offering, to drive AI transformation at scale.”
