Microsoft has announced a new subscription package that directly targets individual users. Microsoft 365 Premium presented this plan, with Office applications Copilot artificial intelligence support under one roof. The price was determined as $ 19.99 per month, and this figure was positioned at the same point as the Chatgpt Plus subscription. Thus, the company integrates the tools of productivity with artificial intelligence and comes across users with a stronger option.
The Copilot Pro Plan introduced last year demanded $ 20 in addition to Microsoft 365 individual or family packages. However, most of the users found this cost high. In response to these reactions, Microsoft added Copilot features directly to the subscriptions. In addition to all these, this experience is more comprehensive with the Premium Plan. However, the removal of Copilot Pro from the sale stands out as part of this move.
Microsoft 365 Premium brings productivity and artificial intelligence together in the same subscription
Premium package offers Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook with Copilot integration. With this integration, transactions such as summary on documents, analyzing tables or adding content to presentations can be done directly with artificial intelligence. In addition, innovations such as GPT-4O-based visual production and audio use are also available for users. However, it should be noted that these features work only in desktop and mobile applications and are not active in web versions. In addition, the right to 1 TB cloud storage per person is presented as part of the subscription.
Microsoft defines the Premium plan, especially for professionals working at a intense pace. In addition, independent employees and entrepreneurs will be able to benefit from this subscription efficiently. However, the real emphasis of the company is that it can be used faster and more comprehensively with the support of artificial intelligence. Despite everything, users are expected to notice Copilot’s contribution in Office experience. In addition to all these, keeping the price as the Chatgpt Plus also points to competition directly.
On the other hand, the Premium Plan is not limited to the classic copilot features. Microsoft, Researcher And Analyst The new artificial intelligence -supported vehicles, which he named, are also preparing to integrate Word, Powerpoint and Excel. It is aimed to speed up these vehicles in time -receiving processes such as reporting, data review and presentation preparation. In addition, it is on the agenda that these vehicles are presented with more language support in the future. Thus, users will be able to use artificial intelligence more effectively in business processes.
One of the remarkable innovations of Microsoft 365 Premium is the use of copilot in a business environment with personal accounts. Users can activate their Premium account on their business computers. Nevertheless, corporate security measures and data privacy standards are preserved. Company data is not shared with personal accounts and all transactions are carried out within the framework of existing policies. This feature only applies to desktop applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
In addition, it is possible for system managers to decide whether employees can use their personal accounts in business devices. Thus, while maintaining security and compatibility standards, flexibility is provided. Although this feature is not supported in the web version, it becomes active in the most preferred desktop applications. In addition, iPad and Mac users can also benefit from this opportunity. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the possibility of disabling this feature of enterprises should be forgotten.
With the introduction of the Premium plan, Microsoft decided to remove the subscription of Copilot Pro from the sale. However, existing Pro users were not automatically transferred to Premium. The company did not share a clear calendar about the date when the Copilot Pro will end completely. However, the current orientation shows that Premium will become the main option of individual users in the coming period. This approach points to gathering the Copilot experience around a single plan.
On the other hand, some innovations came into play in the individual and family subscriptions of Microsoft 365. Users will now be able to access the GPT-4O-based visual production and voice use with wider limits. The Copilot chat feature, which was previously offered to corporate customers, has now opened to access to all individual subscribers. In addition, wider usage limits are offered compared to the free copilot layer. Thus, the artificial intelligence experience of Microsoft 365 users is further diversified.
