Microsoft Copilot in Word adds AI assistance to Microsoft Word for drafting, rewriting and summarizing documents. You describe what you need and it creates, reads and edits the document, rewrites passages, summarizes long files and answers questions on how to improve your writing. It works alongside Editor for grammar and style, Designer for custom banners and images, Dictate for speech-to-text and an Accessibility Checker. A free Word for the web tier exists, and Microsoft 365 Personal costs $99.99 per year.
Students, office professionals, writers, managers and teams who already work in Word are the natural users. Collaboration features suit groups that co-author reports and proposals, since anyone can be invited to edit in real time, even without an account. Readers with focus or comprehension needs can use Immersive Reader for a distraction-free view.
Typical tasks include turning a rough outline into a first draft, tightening a long report, summarizing a document before a meeting and fixing tone or clarity. Thousands of templates cover letters, resumes and flyers. Teams share documents with track changes and version history, and a single subscription lets one person use Word on up to five devices across PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android, with 1 TB of cloud storage. Dictation can transcribe audio files into text. Usage limits apply to the AI features, and the AI features cannot be shared beyond the subscription owner. Microsoft Copilot in Word also adds AI-driven accessibility recommendations for format, color contrast and word choice.
