Where Microsoft Copilot fits
Use it when exploring an assistant alongside a Microsoft account or browser workflow.
Check before you choose
Distinguish consumer Copilot from workplace products with different account and licensing requirements.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start by deciding whether your task needs a hosted service or a model running on your own hardware. A chat assistant, a code editor and a local runtime solve different problems even when they use similar models.
