For its AI functions, Microsoft has entered into a multi-billion dollar pact with the start-up OpenAI, from which the chatbot ChatGPT comes. Copilot will be starting in a few days.

The company announced the copilot for the Office software in March and wants to offer it to corporate customers in addition to the price of the Microsoft 365 subscription for $30 per user per month. Competitors such as Google and enterprise software specialist Salesforce are also working to upgrade their offerings with artificial intelligence.
