Microsoft Copilot: your office assistant that gives you top intelligence for free

More than just a search engine

If ChatGPT is the star of the internet, Microsoft Copilot is the office professional you can always rely on. Until recently, we knew it as Bing Chat, but in 2025 it has become much more than that. It is the bet of the giant Microsoft in the artificial intelligence race and comes with a huge advantage: it is connected to the internet in real time and gives you access to technologies that, elsewhere, you would have to pay for.

If you want to see how Copilot positions itself compared to other competitors on the market (such as Google Gemini or Perplexity), we recommend that you also read our complete guide on top 20 free AI robots in 2025.

Why choose it? The secret is GPT-4 technology

Copilot's biggest asset is its generosity. While other bots (including ChatGPT's free version) may have strict limits or use simpler models for non-paying users, Microsoft has decided to change the strategy. Microsoft Copilot gives you free access to GPT-4 and GPT-4o technology. Basically, you get a top-notch digital "brain" without paying a subscription, right from your Edge browser or the Windows Start bar. It's like getting a luxury car engine for free on your family car.

What does he know how to do best? (practical examples)

According to our analysis, Copilot is not just a chatbot, but a comprehensive productivity tool. Here are three things it excels at:

• Web search with verified sources: Unlike a robot that can "invent" credible answers, Copilot was built to function as an advanced search engine. It searches the internet for information and tells you exactly where it got it, giving you links at the end of the sentence. Example: You can ask it "What are the new taxes for microenterprises in 2025?" and it will answer you by citing updated legislation, not old information.
• Free image generation: Need an illustration for a presentation or a visual idea for a logo? Copilot integrates the DALL-E 3 system. This means you can tell it: "Draw a futuristic laptop on a wooden desk" and it will generate the image for free. You have a number of daily "boosts" that make the generation very fast.
• Web page summaries: If you're using the Microsoft Edge browser, Copilot appears in a sidebar. You can open a long PDF or a long article and ask it, "Give me a 5-point summary of this page." It saves you hours of reading.

Free vs. paid: when is it worth the investment?

For a regular user who wants to search for information, write emails or generate images, the free version is excellent and sufficient. However, there is also a Copilot Pro version or one integrated into Microsoft 365. The major difference is the integration into office applications.

• Free version: You have access to chat, search, and images on the web.
• Paid version: The robot goes directly into your Word, Excel or PowerPoint programs. You can ask it to write a document for you directly in the Word page or analyze your data in an Excel table. You also get priority access during peak hours.

Copilot in your business strategy

For companies in Romania, this tool can significantly reduce the time spent on documentation or creating visual sketches.
