Microsoft Copilot for humans
Microsoft Copilot is the branded assistant sitting in Bing, Windows, Edge, and Microsoft 365. For knowledge workers already in Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, it is the lowest-friction assistant because it already has tenant context. Graph connectors and Copilot Studio matter to agents and IT, while the everyday score is about whether Copilot in Excel actually reduces spreadsheet time. Licensing is a forest; we describe it instead of simplifying it into a fake price. Twin Score on this directory is 80 for humans and 76 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Microsoft Copilot is sold by Microsoft, founded 2023, headquartered in Redmond, USA. Pricing in public materials: Consumer Copilot free and Pro; Microsoft 365 Copilot is per-user enterprise licensing. Machine capabilities we record: API strong, MCP none, CLI basic, docs strong, auth Microsoft Entra ID, Graph permissions. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
