In March this year, Microsoft introduced the Microsoft 365 Copilot to help its commercial customers with a variety of tasks. In a blog post, Microsoft had then explained how Copilot will be users’ ‘copilot for work’ and will help users carry out their day-to-day tasks at work with ease.
“Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more — to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills,” the company had said back then.
Copilot was made available to a few companies via an Early Access Program and companies like Chevron, Goodyear, General Motors and Dow got a first-hand experience of the company’s AI-powered subscription service. And now, Microsoft has announced the pricing for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
In a new blog post, Microsoft announced the pricing of copilot for its commercial customers. Companies will have to pay USD 30 per user per month to get access to the AI-powered features.
“Bing Chat Enterprise unlocks generative AI for work. And Microsoft 365 Copilot brings a whole new way of working – reasoning over all your business data in the context of your enterprise, including the ability to ask questions and get answers from the web. Microsoft 365 Copilot will be available for commercial customers for USD30 per user per month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium customers when broadly available,” the company wrote in a blog post.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can help corporate workers with their day-to-day work. The blog post explains that from keeping a track of meetings and emails to creating a SWOT analysis form internal files and data from the web, Copilot will be at the users’ command.
Microsoft also announced Bing Chat Enterprise access for users. It basically is Bing Chat AI with an added layer of security so that the company’s data remains safe.
Talking about the security with Bing Chat Enterprise, Microsoft wrote in the blog, “With Bing Chat Enterprise, user and business data are protected and will not leak outside the organization. What goes in — and comes out — remains protected. Chat data is not saved, and Microsoft has no eyes-on access – which means no one can view your data. And, your data is not used to train the models.”
The company added that access to Bing Chat Enterprise has been rolled out already with no additional cost in Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium. However, in future, Bing Chat Enterprise will also be available as a separate tool at a price of USD 5 per month.
