Copilot is Microsoft's generative AI product, built on OpenAI technology. Copilot is similar to ChatGPT, and users can have questions answered, get coding help, upload images for context, generate images and text, summarize content, conduct research, launch shortcuts, and more.

Your AI companion is now available on macOS. You can upload images, generate images and text, use the shortcut launcher, dark mode, and try Think Deeper. Microsoft Copilot is the AI companion for everyday life. Talking with Copilot is an easy way to learn, grow and gain confidence, all with the help of OpenAI and Microsoft AI models.

There are no in-app purchases for Microsoft Copilot, but Copilot does have both free and paid tiers. Copilot Pro is priced at $20 per user per month for access to the latest AI models.


The Microsoft Copilot app can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for free. It can run on all Macs with an Apple silicon chip that have macOS 14 or later. [Direct Link]

Yes, I agree, but most people can use Siri and accomplish essentially the same thing.. whether it be through regular Siri or GPT
What? They have entirely different functions. Siri is far less useful ATM than an llm.

I unfortunately have to say that isn’t a good take…
Apple intelligence and a LLM can’t really be compared like that. 2 different functions.

It's great for book suggestions!

Much better than ChatGPT which usually ends up making up titles and descriptions of books which match your ask instead of actually finding real ones.

"Tell me where you found this book it sounds interesting"
"Oh my bad it doesn't exist! Thanks for bringing that up"

I’ve been using Apple Intelligence extensively, and can confirm that it’s far smarter than it was a few months ago. However, there are still hiccups and corrections that need to be performed manually. I say she’s great while supervised, but can’t trust her with my work unsupervised.
