Microsoft Copilot· Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft Copilot (until 2026 named Microsoft 365 Copilot) is an AI assistant built into Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams; Microsoft Copilot Chat is the chat version that work and school accounts get at no extra cost. Universities and schools use it to draft and summarise documents, emails and meetings and to answer questions; Microsoft says Copilot Chat is available to educators, staff and students aged 13 and over, is on by default for higher-education students, is off by default for 13-17-year-olds in K-12 tenants until an admin sets their age group, and is blocked for under-13s, while the full Copilot licence is sold to education organisations as an add-on. The vendor says Copilot combines large language models with content in Microsoft Graph that the user already has permission to see, and that prompts, responses and Graph data are not used to train foundation models. Microsoft says generated responses are not guaranteed to be factual and that users should review output before using or sharing it.

How we picked these +

We give every AI a score out of 100 based on how much it shares about itself. We look at five things:

Who else is involved — does it tell you which other companies handle your data?
Rules it follows — has it been checked against laws and standards?
What it tells users — does it have a clear privacy policy, terms, and security promises?
How it works — does it explain what it was trained on and how it was built?
Doing the right thing — does it have rules about safe and fair use?

An AI has to share at least half of this to make the list. We rank by score. If two AIs tie, the more popular one wins. Each company can only show up once per list.

We get this information from what companies share publicly, the EU Open Source AI Index, and our own catalogue. Nobody pays to be on this list.
