Microsoft’s new Copilot Pro brings AI-powered Office features to the rest of us

You’ll need to pay $20 per month extra to get all the new AI-powered features in Office.

Most of the features that have been available to businesses for the past couple of months will be available to consumers, with the big exception of being able to summon Copilot to generate a PowerPoint deck based on a Word document. “There’s a lot of demand from those power users and they want more rapid access to the latest models, they want faster performance, and they want creativity tools,” says Divya Kumar, global head of marketing for search and AI at Microsoft, in a discussion with The Verge. “It’s already coming in with a lot of features and functionality on top of Copilot... we want to continue to bring an additional premium value and we’re going to very quickly start to do that as well.”
