At its annual Inspire event for resellers Tuesday, Microsoft offered new details on how it is rolling out generative AI capabilities across its product line, announcing that Copilot will be available to customers for $30 per user per month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium customers.<\/p>\n
Copilot is a generative AI assistant that sits across the company\u2019s suite of business productivity and collaboration apps and can automate tasks and create content \u2014 including analyzing Excel data, designing PowerPoint presentations, and summarizing Teams meetings.<\/p>\n
Microsoft has said this pricing will come into force when Copilot becomes \u201cbroadly available,\u201d but is yet to share a timeline for when that might be. Currently, 600 global enterprise customers are signed up to its early access program.<\/p>\n
Microsoft also announced the expansion of Bing Chat, through the launch of Bing Chat Enterprise, and introduced Visual Search.<\/p>\n
Bing Chat Enterprise is a work-specific version of the company\u2019s AI-powered chat feature that it launched February of this year. The offering allows users to ask questions and receive answers from GPT-4, the OpenAI Large Language Model (LLM) that Microsoft has invested heavily in since the end of 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like Bing Chat, Bing Chat Enterprise is grounded in web data and provides complete, verifiable answers with citations, along with visual answers that include graphs, charts and images, and is designed in line with our AI principles,\u201d according to a blog post by Microsoft executives Yusuf Mehdi and Jared Spataro.<\/p>\n
