Battle of the AI assistants

Copilot streamlines Microsoft 365

After launching on Windows 11 in November, Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot is now available to test on Windows 10.

How it works: Copilot integrates with Microsoft 365 apps to: summarize documents and generate text in Word, draft and summarize emails in Outlook,  create PivotTables in Excel, and so much more. The bot can even attend meetings in Microsoft Teams on your behalf, record them, and generate meeting transcripts with action items. 

In Windows 10, you can access the chatbot via the button on the right side of your taskbar. (Pricing: paid)
