About Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant built on GPT-4 and integrated across Microsoft's product ecosystem, including GitHub, Microsoft 365, Windows, and Azure. It exists in several distinct forms: GitHub Copilot focuses on code completion and review inside editors like VS Code; Microsoft 365 Copilot embeds AI into Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams; and the standalone Copilot assistant handles general queries and search. The GitHub version remains one of the most widely used coding assistants, with autocomplete, chat, and pull request summarisation built directly into the development workflow. Microsoft 365 Copilot is primarily enterprise-focused, requiring a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription and an additional per-seat licence. For organisations already standardised on Microsoft tooling, Copilot offers the lowest-friction path to AI integration. It is less useful as a standalone general assistant and more valuable as an AI layer embedded in existing Microsoft workflows.
