Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is now live for business, and you can try it for free

Microsoft has a notorious reputation for confusing the names of its products. And that happens again as the Redmond tech giant “re-launched” its free Copilot for business as Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. What?

Note to be confused with the Copilot Business Chat, the MS365 Copilot Chat comes with a pay-as-you-go plan for business customers that want Microsoft 365’s AI.

“Copilot Chat enables your entire workforce—from customer service representatives to marketing leads to frontline technicians—to start using Copilot and agents today,” Microsoft says in the blog post.

The pricing structure is a lot more flexible than the fixed $30/month Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, and it comes with capabilities like workflow automation, image generation with DALL-E, and task management through AI agents.

So, with that, you can use the ChatGPT-like chat tool, and the service complements Microsoft 365 Copilot so it integrates well with apps like Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

“While Copilot Chat is a powerful new on-ramp for everyone in your organization to build the AI habit, Microsoft 365 Copilot remains our best-in-class personal AI assistant for work,” the Redmond tech giant adds.

Microsoft is betting big on AI for business, and that says a lot. And now, the company is also turning the Microsoft 365 app on iOS into the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. There’s also a new logo with the Copilot sign and an “M365” banner beneath.
