> Copilot is just Microsoft's term for AI.

This comment really helps me put things in perspective.

I'm guess now that it's Microsoft's way of naming their LLM-powered products/features, the same way "Azure" is basically their codename for "cloud".

It makes sense. And Google is its own way to name all AI products “Gemini”.

Great point. We’re about to get a wave of Apple Products with “Apple Intelligence” in a similar way.

Naming all your products with X because it uses some fashion of X is certainly a choice.

I think Satya has lost the thread, even in a CEO context.

A product doesn’t have to have every feature baked into the name.

They could simply have marketing that talked about “<product name>, now with Copilot”. Eventually the marking moves on to the next thing, Microsoft products already became synonymous with Copilot/AI due to the marking and general use, and the names stay clean and consistent over time.

Is it in solitaire or minesweeper?

No, it’s also the official name of Microsoft Office. That moniker is no more. Office is Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Does Office exist or not? I thought it was rebranded to Copilot365

Too bad that different products have different licensing.

So I have to license a certain Copilot not just AI.

Do we have Copilot? Yes and no.

Yeah imagine if they had unique product names for "AI in OneDrive", "AI in SharePoint", "AI in Outlook"... That would be even more ridiculous.
