Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft's AI layer across Office 365 — drafts emails in Outlook, summarises documents in Word, generates presentations in PowerPoint, and analyses data in Excel.
Why It Matters
Native Office integration means no copy-pasting between tools. It reads your actual Excel data, your actual Outlook history, your actual Word documents — context no standalone AI can replicate.
Limitations
Best value only inside Microsoft 365 · Expensive for the full suite
