Microsoft has expanded the availability of its AI technology solution Copilot for Microsoft 365 to all businesses.

The product was released in November 2023, but Microsoft has now made its available to organisations of all sizes with no seat purchase minimum.

Copilot is now available for Office 365 E3 and E5 customers, with no Microsoft 365 license required.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Standard Customers will also be able to buy between one and 200 seats for $30 per person, per month.

Commercial customers can buy Copilot for Microsoft 365 through Microsoft’s CSP partners.

This follows the announcement in December 2023 of the eligibility of Copilot for Microsoft 365 for education faculty and staff.

Microsoft has also introduced Copilot Pro, a premium subscription that provides a higher tier of service for AI capabilities, bringing Copilot AI’s capabilities to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers, as well as new features, such as the ability to create Copilot GPTs.

Additionally, it has announced the general availability of its Copilot app for iOS and Android phones.

Carl Oliver, head of product at Giacom, said, “The launch of Copilot for Microsoft 365 represents an exciting opportunity for our partners, using powerful AI technology to create intelligent, data-driven solutions and save businesses time, money and stress.

“Early results from businesses which have been using Copilot’s beta version highlight its capabilities. Seventy per cent of users said Copilot had made them more productive, with 68 per cent saying it had improved the quality of their work.

“Copilot enables businesses and users to do the work they currently do, but better – working smarter to boost productivity and make time-consuming tasks quicker and easier.

“At Giacom, we’re perfectly placed to help MSPs introduce Copilot to their customers. Giacom was one of the few Microsoft partners to be part of the early access programme for Copilot, so we have the hands-on experience to help you and your customers get up to speed and confident with the product.

“What’s more, Copilot has no minimum license requirement for businesses, making it one of the most accessible and powerful AI-driven tools on the market.”
