Microsoft has launched a new pricing model for its Copilot Chat, making it easier for businesses to adopt AI tools.
The new Copilot Chat is designed for corporate users and offers a more flexible way to access Microsoft’s AI tools. Instead of paying a set price for every employee, companies will only pay for what they actually use. This could really help those who were hesitant about the $30 per person monthly fee for the original Copilot.
Jared Spataro, Microsoft’s marketing chief for AI, mentioned that this new model allows businesses to see the value of the service before fully committing. Copilot Chat can pull info from the web, summarize documents, and even create agents to handle tasks in the background.
However, it’s worth noting that Copilot Chat isn’t integrated into Office apps like Word or Excel. You can access it through the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows, Android, and iOS, or via the web.
This new pricing structure could be a big win for companies that were unsure about investing in AI tools. Instead of paying for unused services, they’ll only be charged based on the number of messages sent. Each message costs just a penny, making it super affordable to get started.
With more businesses signing up for Microsoft 365 Copilot, it seems like the demand for AI tools is on the rise. It’ll be interesting to see how this new model impacts usage and adoption in the coming months.
