Microsoft released Copilot (formerly Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise) in preview in February, and now the company has announced that its AI companion is now generally available. The Windows maker says that with expanded access, Copilot will become more efficient and able to provide better answers.
“We are excited to continue this momentum by announcing that Copilot is now generally available, no longer in preview. With general availability, Microsoft Copilot continues to bring AI-powered web chat to continues to be your everyday AI companion,” the company said.
Jordi Ribas, corporate vice president at Microsoft and head of engineering and products at Bing, said Copilot with commercial data protection capabilities is now generally available with more eligible Microsoft365 licenses.
What it means to users
Consumers and businesses alike can now use Copilot with all GPT-4 features and up-to-date citation information.
Commercial users receive commercial data protection at no additional cost. That is, prompts and responses are not saved. Microsoft does not monitor access, and the data is not used by the company to train the underlying large-scale language model (LLM).
Copilot helps users draft emails, summarize PDFs and articles, generate images with DALL-E 3, and get answers to complex questions.

Last month, Microsoft announced that Copilot would also be available on more platforms. For those interested, Copilot is available at https://copilot.microsoft.com in your favorite browser.
