Microsoft Copilot is natively integrated into Windows and Edge completely free of charge. There is also a paid version available for all applications that are part of Office such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and even with the Outlook email client. Microsoft AI for Office allows you to automate a large number of tasks such as writing documents with the information of others, creating tables based on graphs or even presentations using a Word document and much more.
This subscription, which is not exactly cheap, is focused on companies, however, that does not mean that home users cannot use it, as long as we are willing to pay for it. If not, there is no need to give up the ChatGPT integration in Office since we can use the GPT for Excel Word add-in, a free add-in available from the store of both applications.
ChatGPT in Word and Excel
The integration of this extension allows Excel users to establish the same formula in a certain range of cells without having to copy and paste the same shape and fight so that it does not change the cells that are used in the formula, since, With a simple text instruction you are able to perform this task much faster and avoiding errors.
In addition, it also allows you to internet searches to extract content by filtering the information that does not interest us to add it directly in table format, including the corresponding links to the sources.
Refering to integration with Word, this is the same one that we already use with Edge, offering us the possibility of asking questions about a certain document, extracting the most important information in the form of a summary, translating the text (although this function is native to Word) and much more. In addition, it also allows you to obtain writing tipscompletely rewrite a document or a previously selected section of the document.
This plugin is free, but is limited to a number of requests to the servers via API, although you can try it to see if it meets your needs completely free of charge. If you exceed the number of requests offered by the free version, you must purchase token packs to continue using it.
Even so, it is a much cheaper option than paying for the Copilot Artificial Intelligence subscription in Office. This plugin uses the ChatGPT API, so the data from the documents we work with will not be used, at any time, to enter the Artificial Intelligence models from OpenAI.
If you want to give it a try and try, we just have to click on the Add-ons button on the Home ribbon and search for GPT for Excel Word and click on add. Once installed, the plugin will be displayed in the right panel of the application from where we can interact.
