Microsoft’s new AI-powered Office assistant is here — if you’ve got $9,000 and 300 friends

Microsoft has launched the enterprise version of Copilot for ‘all the things’ – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc – at a price of $30 per user, per month – with a minimum of 300 users, as reported in The Verge:

Businesses willing to pay the premium will be able to use Microsoft 365 Copilot to summarize documents, generate emails, create plans from notes, and even improve Excel analysis. More than 600 enterprise customers have been testing Microsoft 365 Copilot during a paid early access program in recent months.

Microsoft has high hopes that businesses will flock to Microsoft 365 Copilot, even if there is a steep entry price right now. Forrester Research predicts that 6.9 million US knowledge workers will be using Microsoft 365 Copilot in 2024.

That’s a lot of users – will they know how to make the most from their AI-boosted tools?
