i wasn't aware there was a free tier of Copilot, from reading the article it sounds like an entirely different product than Github Copilot, right?

It used to be called Bing Chat (aka "Sydney"), if that rings a bell. It made headlines last year for its creepy behavior. https://fortune.com/2023/02/21/bing-microsoft-sydney-chatgpt-openai-controversy-toxic-a-i-risk/ https://fortune.com/2023/02/21/bing-microsoft-sydney-chatgpt...

Yes, totally different. If you use windows, there’s a pane in their Edge browser that opens up an AI chat window. You can use it for most of the things you get with paid OpenAI subscription, but it’s free for every windows user. They call it Copilot.

  Not only on windows. You can use it on Edge for Mac.

  There is also a Copilot app that you can use from your phone.

      Haha, it’s a standalone, I was too lazy to attach links, but for the next person stumbling over this: iOS: https://apps.apple.com/se/app/microsoft-copilot/id6472538445?l=en-GB https://apps.apple.com/se/app/microsoft-copilot/id6472538445...

  it's also baked into windows 11 (insider's build maybe?) as a taskbar button

    Most recent major feature release has it now (I don’t know what they call them anymore) but it showed up in my taskbar after an update maybe just over a month ago.

Yes. "Copilot" is just chatbot, now. The copilot that helps you code is now called "Github Copilot". I guess Microsoft couldn't leave a good name alone.
