Microsoft adds Copilot AI features to Microsoft 365 subscriptions in several countries

Microsoft is now including its Copilot AI assistant in Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions in several countries, including Australia, Malaysia, and New Zealand. This feature will be available in apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The subscription prices will increase slightly, but remain lower than a separate Copilot Pro subscription. For example, Australian users will pay an extra $4 AUD per month for Family plans and $5 AUD for Personal plans. This change may be a trial for future expansions in the US and Europe. Currently, businesses pay an additional $30 per user per month for Copilot access, but many have been slow to adopt it due to costs.
