Microsoft's AI assistant woven into Windows, Edge, and Office — strongest when you already live in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Summary

Copilot's real advantage isn't the chat window, it's the integration — drafting in Word, summarizing in Outlook, and building formulas in Excel without leaving the app. As a standalone chatbot it's solid but not category-leading against ChatGPT or Gemini. It's the easy default for organizations already paying for Microsoft 365, and a harder sell as a first choice otherwise.
