It’s time to open wallets for those who want to get more from Microsoft’s artificial intelligence application Copilot: Copilot Pro, which requires a paid subscription, is coming.
After the recent quietly unveiled Copilot apps for Android and iOS, it looks like a paid Copilot subscription is next.
Microsoft says the new Copilot apps for iOS and Android give customers access to the power of Copilot on the go. You can sign in with your Microsoft account and sync your chats across devices, continue conversations you’ve already started, and use many of Copilot’s “magical capabilities” on a smaller screen.
In addition to the dedicated Copilot apps, Microsoft will also release an updated Microsoft 365 app with Copilot access for people with Microsoft accounts in the near future. This app will allow you to interact with Copilot and export the content of your conversations to Word or PDF documents without leaving the app.
However, if you want to use Copilot to draft documents directly in Word or summarise emails in Outlook, these features will be available as part of Copilot Pro, a subscription that costs $20 per month. In other words, there will be an advanced version of Copilot that requires a paid subscription.
Other Copilot-related announcements include updates for commercial users, Copilot GPTs focused on specific topics, and the ability to create your own Copilot GPT using a simple set of commands.
Interestingly, Copilot is also available on mobile devices through the Microsoft Edge browser, which recently received the new name “AI Browser”.
