Get started with Copilot Pro, the new AI assistant from Microsoft

Microsoft has recently launched Copilot Pro, a premium subscription service that offers a range of AI-powered features to help you create, communicate, and collaborate faster and easier. Copilot Pro is available for individuals, creators, and power users who want to take their Copilot experience to the next level. In this blog post, we will explain what Copilot Pro is, what it can do, and how you can get started with it with the help of entrust IT Group, a trusted partner of Microsoft.

What is Copilot Pro?

Copilot Pro is an extension of Copilot, a free AI assistant that you can use on the web and on your devices to find the right information, create unique content, and get things done faster. Copilot uses advanced natural language processing and deep learning models to understand your queries and generate relevant and accurate responses. You can use text, voice, or images to interact with Copilot in a conversational way.

Copilot Pro adds more value to your Copilot experience by providing you with:

• Priority access to GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo, the latest AI models from Microsoft, during peak times for accelerated performance and faster results.
• Access to Copilot in selected Microsoft 365 apps, such as Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and OneNote, to draft documents, summarise emails, create presentations, and more.
• Ability to create AI images with DALL-E, a powerful image generation model, in landscape format even faster with 100 boosts per day with Designer (formerly Bing Image Creator).
• Access to plug-ins and GPTs, which are customisable templates and scripts that you can use to generate specific types of content, such as code, poems, tweets, etc.

What can Copilot Pro do?

Copilot Pro can help you with a variety of tasks and projects, such as:

• Writing blog posts, articles, essays, reports, etc. with the help of GPT-4, which can generate high-quality and coherent text based on your keywords, topics, or outlines.
• Creating graphics, logos, illustrations, etc. with the help of DALL-E, which can generate realistic and creative images based on your descriptions, sketches, or examples.
• Developing code, apps, websites, etc. with the help of plug-ins and GPTs, which can generate code snippets, syntax, comments, etc. based on your specifications, languages, or frameworks.
• Researching information, facts, data, etc. with the help of Copilot’s conversational search, which can provide you with relevant and reliable sources, summaries, comparisons, etc. based on your questions or keywords.
• Communicating with confidence, clarity, and style with the help of Copilot’s writing assistant, which can help you rewrite, paraphrase, summarise, or translate your text, as well as check your grammar, spelling, and tone.
• Collaborating with your team, clients, or partners with the help of Copilot’s integration with Microsoft 365 apps, which can help you create, edit, and share your files, documents, and presentations, as well as schedule meetings, send reminders, and follow up on tasks.
