Microsoft: Microsoft Copilot plans and status

copilot.microsoft.comtheir newsroomall Microsoft news

Microsoft sells AI as Copilot, bundled into Windows, Office and GitHub rather than sold as a model you call directly. That bundling is why this site prices no Microsoft API: what Microsoft publishes is a seat price for a product, not a figure per million tokens. Microsoft's machine-readable newsroom feed covers the whole company rather than Copilot alone, so this site reads it with an AI relevance check instead of treating every Microsoft post as a Copilot event.

    The EU AI Act in plain words: what it covers and what changes for you

    The EU AI Act is the European Union's law for artificial intelligence. It sorts uses of AI by risk, bans a short list outright, regulates the risky uses heavily, and asks little of the rest. Its duties fall on the companies that build and deploy AI. A person who simply uses a chatbot gets protections, not obligations.
