Copilot Branding for Bing Tweaked Yet Again

• Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Microsoft Copilot offer largely the same features to business and consumer users respectively.
• Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat now offers Enterprise Data Protection, replacing the earlier Commercial Data Protection promise.
• Both versions respond to natural language questions with written summaries of their findings, offering clearer results than traditional Bing search.

Microsoft’s generative AI technologies integrated into Bing are being increasingly pitched as a part of Microsoft 365 suites although they are not licensed as such, and the technology has been renamed yet again to highlight the differences. The key difference between the free and paid-for commercial variants is purely data privacy guarantees. Few other significant feature differences exist.
