Microsoft 365's Copilot AI moves out of beta and into… everywhere

Microsoft wants to make its AI service for work, Microsoft 365 Copilot, basically ubiquitous within its ecosystem. And at its Ignite conference, Microsoft is well on its way to launch Copilot services early next year. For consumers, Copilot means adding additional AI capabilities to Microsoft 365 Office apps like Outlook and Teams. Microsoft is planning to remove the "Bing Chat" brand that has marked its early forays into AI and just replace it with "Copilot," for both consumers and enterprises. Copilot is also moving out of preview, and will become generally available starting December 1. If you've used Windows Copilot -- especially while working with the Copilot sidebar open -- you may have noticed Copilot react to what you're doing elsewhere on the screen.
