What is Copilot Pro? Microsoft’s AI subscription service explained
Microsoft spent most of 2023 touting its AI capabilities and it culminated with the launch of the Copilot AI companion in September. Now, Microsoft is offering Copilot Pro to those who want the top experience it can offer.
AI this and AI that, it remains the talk of the technology world and it isn’t just about saying silly things to chatbots anymore. We’ve seen brands like AMD and Intel upgrade their hardware with more AI-specific tech to open up more artificial intelligence-enabled workloads to all.
Admittedly, for consumers, AI does largely remain about chatbots and the neat Windows Studio effects AI features that dedicated chips can bring to your webcam. But, Copilot does look set to make life easier for many and the new Pro subscription is where things get even more serious. Let’s dive in.

These include a single AI experience that runs across all of your devices, from on the web and your PC to on your mobile device too, and it provides context-specific to you no matter what medium you’re using, access to Copilot across Microsoft 365 software. You’ll get Copilot across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. All of these are available across PC, Mac and iPad for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers.
You’ll also get priority access to the latest models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo. GPT-4 Turbo offers faster performance during peak times and the ability to change which models you’re interacting with. The latter feature is listed as “coming soon”.
You also get enhanced AI image creation using Designer along with the ability to build your own customised Copilot GPT. The option to create a Copilot GPT allows you to customise the AI based on a particular topic, such as fitness, travel, gaming and more. This feature is currently listed as “coming soon”, with no specific release date.
Microsoft Copilot Pro is available now and costs $20 per month/per user.
