Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in our lives, and now it is being integrated into the Windows 11 system. The new tool, Copilot, is a simple assistant designed to make computer usage easier. However, Microsoft has found a way to monetize AI by offering enhanced functionality for an additional fee.
Copilot Pro – What Do We Gain?
Copilot Pro is a service that requires a monthly payment of $20. It is aimed at computer users who expect better support from AI. The Pro version utilizes the newer GPT-4 Turbo model, which contains the most up-to-date information as of April 2023. In comparison to the standard Copilot version, which relies on the GPT-4 model with information from September 2021, this service offers more current and accurate data. Users will also have the ability to create a personalized Copilot GPT tailored to their specific topics.
After subscribing, the Copilot tool will be available not only on PC and Mac computers but also on phones and tablets. There are also plans to integrate it with applications, including the Microsoft 365 suite, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote (provided that we have a subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal or Family). Additionally, the paid version of Copilot offers improved access to the Image Creator from Designer tool (formerly Bing Image Creator) and provides faster performance with 100 accelerations per day. Furthermore, it offers a more detailed image quality and horizontal image format.
Copilot for Businesses
In addition to the Copilot Pro plan for individual users, Microsoft has also introduced the option to purchase the Copilot service for small businesses as part of the Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Standard services. Companies can now acquire licenses for 1 to 299 seats at a price of $30 per seat per month.
Utilizing the Copilot tool will allow Windows 11 users to make even more efficient use of their devices, providing access to the latest information and streamlining work processes. The choice between the free and paid version depends on the individual needs and expectations of the user.
