Microsoft 365 Copilot

What you can do

Microsoft 365 Copilot (recently renamed Microsoft Copilot) is Microsoft's AI assistant for Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams. Copilot Chat, the web-grounded chat, comes free with eligible Microsoft 365 work or school plans. The paid Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licence adds in-app drafting and automatic grounding in the organisation's own emails, files and meetings through Microsoft Graph.

Before choosing

Only Copilot Chat is free, and even then only for users signed in with a Microsoft Entra work or school account; a personal Microsoft account does not receive Microsoft's enterprise data protection. Automatic grounding in an organisation's own files, emails and meetings needs the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licence, not Copilot Chat.

What you can do

DeepL is a machine translation and writing-assistant service with a web translator, the DeepL Write editing tool, desktop apps, browser extensions and mobile apps. The free plan translates text and one document a month in the browser; paid Pro plans raise the limits, add glossaries, and guarantee submitted text is deleted after translation rather than used for training.

Before choosing

Free-plan text is used to train DeepL's models; only paid Pro plans guarantee no training and deletion of submitted text after translation.
