Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft's AI assistant. Works inside Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams to draft documents and summarize email.
Our take
Honestly, this only makes sense if your workday runs on Word, Excel and Outlook. The paid version inside those apps gets decent reviews. The free website version mostly gets shrugs. And the Office version costs extra on top of Microsoft 365.
The quick breakdown
- Good for
- Workplaces that already use Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams.
- Not great for

- Watch out
- The version that works inside Word and Excel costs extra on top of a Microsoft 365 plan.
- What people say
