These agents can automate tasks, by providing instant assistance and monitoring emails- making them indispensable for streamlining workflows.
The free version will further enable file uploads and GPT-4-powered responses, that deliver robust functionality which is comparable to competitors like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
Flexible pricing with Pay-As-You-Go options
Microsoft also introduced a pay-as-you-go pricing model for AI agent usage, to ensure businesses to have full control over costs.
Agent usage is measured in messages, with different rates depending on the complexity:
- 1 cent for classic answers.
- 2 cents for generative answers.
- 30 cents for advanced responses using Microsoft Graph.
Businesses can also choose for consumption packs to cap spending.

With Copilot Studio, users can create and customize AI agents to suit specific business needs. These agents can:
- Answer employee queries using HR data.
- Summarize Word documents.
- Analyze Excel spreadsheets.
- Access tenant-specific data stored in Microsoft Graph.
For instance, an agent answering 200 generative queries and 200 tenant Graph queries in a day would cost USD 64, demonstrating scalability for diverse operations.
