Since then, it has integrated seamlessly into many Microsoft applications like PowerPoint, Excel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/bcc-explained-how-to-add-a-blind-carbon-copy-bcc-in-outlook\/\">Outlook<\/a>, etc.\u00a0 However, there are different versions of Copilot, which can be confusing.

It comes with Image Creator from Designer (formerly Bing Image Creator).\u00a0 If you\u2019re a premium member of Microsoft 365 Personal or Family, you can use Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote on PC, Mac, and iPad to access Copilot Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Copilot Pro collects information from many apps so the AI assistant can better use relevant information.<\/p>\n<h2>Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Pro, and Microsoft 365: Are They Expensive?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s state the prices of each Copilot version again:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper-table\">\n<table style=\"height: 120px;\" width=\"655\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Copilot version<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Price<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Target audience<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Windows Copilot<\/td>\n<td>Free<\/td>\n<td>Consumers, small and medium businesses (SMBs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copilot Pro<\/td>\n<td>$20 per user monthly<\/td>\n<td>Individual users, freelancers, small businesses<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/td>\n<td>$30 per user monthly<\/td>\n<td>Large enterprises<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Like ChatGPT, Bing Chat is free and already included with Microsoft Edge.\u00a0 A redesigned version of Copilot might be available in the future for smaller companies that don\u2019t have enough data to train the AI. Maybe not.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">As Microsoft Copilot develops, its prices will probably change. As competitors in the AI platform market keep growing, you can expect a significant price fluctuation.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the end, whether the cost is worth the price or not depends on you. Do you want to increase productivity without compromising accuracy with your team?<\/p>\n<p>Do you want your excellent employees to spend their time on laborious but essential tasks rather than focusing on critical and creative thinking?<\/p>\n<p>What is the value of that to you? Only you can answer that. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>How to Use Microsoft Copilot?<\/h2>\n<p>Just like ChatGPT, you ask Copilot questions in a conversational, natural-language style.<\/p>\n<p>However, as with any online search, context is important, so include as many keywords as you can in your questions.<\/p>\n<p>One way I get the right information is by thinking of Copilot as a helper, not the driver; it needs your help and effort.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Copilot in Microsoft Teams<\/h3>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Microsoft-Teams-Copilot.gif\" alt=\"Microsoft Teams Copilot\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\">GIF courtesy by Microsoft<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Windows 11 Copilot can provide excellent meeting summaries and recaps in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/stop-microsoft-teams-from-opening\/\">Microsoft Teams<\/a>, covering important topics and action items.<\/p>\n<p>It can also offer translations from foreign languages, additional talking points, and response ideas during the discussion.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Copilot in Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint<\/h3>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copilot-in-Excel.gif\" alt=\"Microsoft Teams Copilot\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\">GIF courtesy of Microsoft<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>You can generate text in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook and then have Copilot complete or rework it.<\/p>\n<p>Copilot can also provide a concise document overview and even convert text into data tables.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Copilot in Windows and Edge<\/h3>\n<p>Using Copilot in Windows is easy.

ChatGPT shines in natural language response generation and conversational context awareness.<\/p>\n<p>So, ChatGPT is a better fit for you if you\u2019re creating stories, writing prose, or engaging in conversation.<\/p>\n<p>However, Copilot excels at helping with coding tasks by generating code snippets and providing suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT might be a better alternative for language-related activities, depending on your specific needs, while Copilot might be a better fit for coding support. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<h2>Tips on Using Windows Copilot<\/h2>\n<h3>Tip 1: Launch Copilot with keyboard shortcut<\/h3>\n<p>The fastest way to open Copilot in Windows is to use the keyboard shortcut. Just press <i>Windows + C <\/i> to launch Copilot on the right side of your screen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copilot-preview.png\" alt=\"Press Windows + C to launch Copilot on the right side of your screen \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>You can toggle the <i> Show as an overlay <\/i> button beside the three horizontal dots to prevent your active window from overlapping with the Copilot window.<\/p>\n<p>You can toggle it again to activate the <i>Show side by side <\/i> mode to keep it side by side with your active window.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 2: Use your voice to enter prompts<\/h3>\n<p>You can use your voice to search on Copilot by clicking on the microphone icon and start giving your prompt.\u00a0 However, keep in mind that Copilot doesn\u2019t have a method for opening it like other voice assistants.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to press Windows + C or click the icon to open the app, then click the microphone icon to start the prompt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">When you click the microphone icon for the first time, you\u2019ll see a pop-up message from Microsoft saying it doesn\u2019t store voice inputs. Instead, they rely on online speech services to convert your voice to text in the background. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Tip 3: Check the follow-up questions<\/h3>\n<p>The questions that Copilot will recommend are shown in the first response below. These can help you dive deeper into a topic.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Copilot provides links to verify the validity of its responses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copilot-learn-more.png\" alt=\"Copilot provides links to verify the validity of its responses \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Tip 4: Select your preferred conversation style<\/h3>\n<p>You can change Copilot\u2019s response to your prompt and how it interprets it with the right conversational style.<\/p>\n<p>Choose between <i>More Precise, More Creative, <\/i>or <i> More Balanced <\/i>. Every question sent to the chatbot starts with <i>More Balanced <\/i> by default.<\/p>\n<p>Select one of the remaining two to compel Copilot to select alternative algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>The chatbot will respond differently to each style; however, you can select any response to evaluate which one best suits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can write a poem using the <i>More Creative <\/i> style.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 5: Use Edge for the best Copilot experience<\/h3>\n<p>If you spend more time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/customize-content-visibility-in-edge\/\">Microsoft Edge <\/a>, consider using integrated Copilot. For example, since I spend a lot of time researching, I don\u2019t find Windows Copilot useful.\u00a0 Plus, switching from a browser to Windows every time you want to initiate a prompt doesn\u2019t make sense.\u00a0 To open Copilot in Edge, just open the browser and select the Copilot icon in the Bing search engine or Edge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Open-Copilot-in-Edge.png\" alt=\"Open Copilot in Edge\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Microsoft Edge offers more unique features to make your tasks easier, like Copilot Notebook, Compose, and Insights.
