Artificial Intelligence Era in Microsoft 365
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, Microsoft has taken an important step to provide better service to its users. The company has stopped charging Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers an additional $20 per month for access to AI-powered Office features. This change will allow users to access advanced artificial intelligence features at more affordable prices.
Microsoft announced that it will make Copilot Pro features part of Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions. These features will help users work more efficiently in popular applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote. In this way, users will be able to create documents faster, perform data analysis easily and make their presentations more impressive.
Uses of Artificial Intelligence Features
Artificial intelligence features are not limited to Office applications only. Microsoft is also integrating these new features into applications such as Paint, Photos and Notepad in the Windows operating system. In this way, users will be able to perform operations such as image editing, photo management and note taking in a smarter way.
However, an important point is that in the Microsoft 365 Family subscription, only the subscriber will be able to access Copilot, other family members will not be able to use this feature. This means that family members cannot fully benefit from this innovation. Users must have a subscription to make the most of artificial intelligence-supported features.
Price Increases and New Pricing
It is stated that Microsoft has brought price increases along with its artificial intelligence features. For example, in Australia, Microsoft 365 Family subscribers will pay AU$4 more per month, while Individual subscribers will pay AU$5 more per month. These increases mean that users need to allocate more budget to access artificial intelligence-supported features.
However, compared to the AU$33 price Microsoft was previously asking for the Copilot Pro in Australia, these new prices seem quite reasonable. Users will be able to have advanced artificial intelligence features at a more affordable price. Microsoft is expected to offer this innovation for the US and European markets soon. Thus, more users around the world will be able to benefit from this innovation.
Conclusion
Microsoft’s enhancement of the Office experience with artificial intelligence features offers many advantages for users. Thanks to advanced features, it is possible to work more efficiently, save time and achieve more impressive results. However, it is important to remember that users must have a subscription to benefit from these innovations. We can’t wait to see the conveniences that artificial intelligence-supported applications will bring to our lives.
