What it is

Copilot is built into Outlook on the web, desktop and mobile for Microsoft 365 subscribers. It summarises threads, drafts and coaches replies, and pulls tasks out of email; consumers get it with Microsoft 365 Personal, Family or Premium, and businesses add Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Latest: Microsoft retired standalone Copilot Pro and folded it into Microsoft 365 Premium; existing subscribers could keep it until August 2026.
