Microsoft to now include Copilot in Microsoft 365 for consumers

Microsoft said on Thursday that it is now including Copilot AI features to its Microsoft 365 suite for individual consumers, a day after it rolled out on-demand AI agents for businesses. The Windows-maker will give its customers an option to either choose a Microsoft 365 subscription plan with Copilot AI features or one without it. Copilot will assist users in a host of apps in the Microsoft 365 suite — Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote and Designer. Microsoft will also give users the options to enable or disable Copilot where AI assistance is not desired — such as in academic scenarios like exams and submissions.
