What is it?

Copilot is Microsoft's AI built into Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and Teams. Ask it to draft a proposal in Word, turn that proposal into a PowerPoint deck, summarise a long Outlook thread or recap a Teams meeting you missed.

Its strength is reach into your company's files, email and meetings, so answers come with your own context. For businesses on Microsoft it is the obvious way to add AI without changing tools.

It is sold as an add-on on top of an existing Microsoft 365 licence, so the real cost for a business is higher than the headline. Results depend heavily on how tidy your organisation's files are.

Who it's for

Businesses running on Microsoft 365 that want AI inside Office and Teams rather than in a separate app.

Best for

  • Word to PowerPoint in one step
  • Meeting recaps from Teams
  • Email summaries and replies
  • Excel analysis in plain English

Why it made the list

For Microsoft shops nothing else is as deeply connected to the documents, email and meetings people already use.
