If you want to see what the best premium generative AI models can do compared to the free ones, now is your chance. Microsoft has made no secret of the fact that it wants you to install Copilot on iPhone and Android, setting up a big campaign for the Super Bowl. Now it’s doubling down by offering Copilot users a free month of Copilot Pro, available to anyone using the iPhone or Android app.
Copilot Pro costs $20 per month, the same price as a subscription to OpenAI ChatGPT Plus. Copilot Pro has some of the same features as ChatGPT Plus, including access to the latest ChatGPT models of major languages. These are GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo. Also, Copilot Pro allows you to create custom Copilots, just like ChatGPT’s custom GPTs.
The free month of Copilot Pro access is part of Microsoft’s broader offering of premium subscriptions. Copilot Pro is now available in all 222 markets and regions where the regular version of Copilot is available.
The only requirement to get Copilot Pro for free is to install the mobile app:
And to make it easy for everyone to get started and experience all the features and benefits of Copilot Pro, we’re offering a one-month free trial for those who install our Copilot mobile app on iOS or Android.
What if you already pay for Copilot Pro? That’s a scenario Microsoft doesn’t address. You can contact customer support or simply cancel your subscription and sign in again.
Microsoft has also confirmed a custom Copilot GPT creation feature. It’s called Microsoft Copilot GPT Builder and it’s available to all users who subscribe to Copilot Pro.
Additionally, Copilot is available in Microsoft 365 web apps if you have a Copilot Pro subscription. To enable Copilot in Microsoft 365 Personal or Family, you’ll obviously need a subscription.
Finally, Microsoft says that Copilot for Microsoft 365 is the company’s “best experience for organizations.” Microsoft is expanding access to Copilot to Microsoft 365 F3 and F1, Office 365 E1 and Business Basic after making it available for Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, Office 365 E3 and E5, Business Standard and Business Premium plans.
Apparently, many business users have already tried Copilot. Microsoft says 40% of the Fortune 100 have used generative AI tools within Microsoft 365. The list includes companies such as Visa, BP, Honda and Pfizer.
In the meantime, here’s a Copilot Super Bowl ad to watch, in case you missed it during the big game:
