Copilot and Copilot Pro vs Copilot for Microsoft 365 Apps

Quick reference

• 00:04 There are currently three versions of Copilot to suit a variety of needs.
• 00:09 Copilot and Copilot Pro for individuals and Copilot for
• 00:13 Microsoft 365 for organizations.
• 00:16 So what's included in each, and more importantly, how much do they cost?
• 00:22 Copilot is the free offering from Microsoft.
• 00:25 It can be accessed via the web, or
• 00:27 you can download the Copilot app to your mobile device.
• 00:32 We can use Copilot to retrieve data from the web, answer questions, and
• 00:37 with its integration with DALL-E, generate AI images based on your prompt.
• 00:42 For example, I asked Copilot to generate an image of a girl working on a laptop
• 00:47 while sitting on the wing of a plane, and this is what it came up with.
• 00:52 Now, I can't lie, it's pretty cool, a little bit freaky, but a lot of fun.
• 00:57 And so useful if you are looking at generating unique looking YouTube
• 01:02 thumbnails, Facebook banners, or maybe even website images.
• 01:07 Copilot Pro is the next step up from Copilot and you're going to need
• 01:11 a Microsoft 365 personal or family subscription to access it.
• 01:16 It costs an additional $20 a month to upgrade your current Microsoft 365
• 01:21 plan to use Copilot Pro.
• 01:23 Copilot Pro gives you access to GPT-4 Turbo and can do everything that
• 01:28 Copilot does, but it's also integrated with Microsoft 365 applications,
• 01:34 Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote.
• 01:39 And if we look a bit further down the road as this product develops,
• 01:43 Copilot GPT Builder is scheduled to be added to the Copilot Pro offering.
• 01:47 Copilot for Microsoft 365 is an add-on plan for organizations.
• 01:52 Previously only available to businesses with 300 plus users, this has now
• 01:57 been changed to include small to medium companies with less than 300 users.
• 02:03 It's also available to individual Microsoft 365
• 02:07 users with the following subscription plans via a partner.
• 02:12 Copilot Microsoft 365 costs $30 to upgrade your plan.
• 02:16 And for that we get a supercharged,
• 02:19 upgraded application including Copilot in Microsoft Teams and Loop.
• 02:25 Now, this course very much focuses on using Copilot within our daily
• 02:30 applications.
