In the competitive landscape of AI-powered tools, Microsoft joins the fray with its Copilot Pro. For the same price as OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus - $20 per month - Copilot Pro brings integration with familiar Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications.
Key Takeaways

Copilot Pro, which launched this Monday, brings cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities directly into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. It's similar to having a digital assistant that not only understands your commands, but also anticipates your needs within the documents and presentations you work on daily. Copilot Pro features seamless integration.
In Word, for example, the AI activates right next to the cursor and offers suggestions and help with writing with a simple click. This level of convenience could potentially eclipse third-party integrations that provide similar services to Microsoft apps.
