Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually becoming a core part of modern productivity. Recently, Microsoft announced the integration of the free Copilot Chat feature into a series of familiar applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for Microsoft 365 Business users.
The highlight of Copilot Chat is the ability to support directly in open documents or files. In Word, the tool can rewrite or summarize text.
In Excel, it analyzes data, highlighting important data. With PowerPoint, Copilot helps structure slides and fine-tune presentation notes.
In Outlook, AI supports email drafting and response; in OneNote, it helps organize and exploit information more effectively. Thanks to that, users save time for daily tasks to focus more on creativity and innovation.
Although free, Microsoft still makes a difference with the premium version. Businesses that accept paying $30/month will experience more benefits such as access to the GPT-5 model, faster response speed, the ability to download and create enhanced images, and priority during peak hours.
This allows customers with high demand to consider upgrading to optimize performance.
Not stopping there, from next October, Microsoft will merge Copilot specializing in sales, services and finance into the Microsoft 365 Copilot package.
This change promises to help businesses using multiple tools at the same time have a more seamless and cost-effective experience.
This is also a step to demonstrate Microsoft's long-term strategy in turning AI into a unified element, associated with all business activities.
Experts say that including free Copilot Chat in Office is a clear message as Microsoft does not consider AI a luxury feature, but an essential tool for every user.
In the context of many software companies increasing prices when adding new features, this decision is considered a wise step to promote widespread acceptance and shaping new industry standards.
With the presence of Copilot Chat, office work can change dramatically: reports are drafted faster, data is easier to analyze, and emails are managed more effectively. This integration not only helps improve productivity but also opens up the prospect of AI becoming an indispensable "companion" in the modern working environment.
