Microsoft has revealed that it is making Capilot Pro features part of its Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions, but only in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.

In a press release, Microsoft stated: "It’s been nine months since we introduced consumers to Copilot in our Microsoft 365 apps via Copilot Pro. We’ve spent that time adding new features, improving performance, and listening carefully to customer feedback."

"Based on that feedback, we’re making Copilot part of our Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions,” the company added.

Moreover, Microsoft is integrating its Microsoft Designer app into Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions in the aforementioned select markets. “Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers will receive a monthly allotment of AI credits to use Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Designer,” explains Microsoft. “The credits will also apply to apps like Paint, Photos, and Notepad on Windows.”

If you're a Microsoft 365 Family subscription owner in one of these select markets, will be able to get access to Copilot and it cannot be shared with other family members.

Microsoft said: "To reflect the value we’ve added over the past decade and enable us to deliver innovations for years to come, we’re increasing the prices of Microsoft 365 Personal and Family."

"The price increase will apply to existing subscribers upon their next renewal,” the company briefed.

The price increases vary across Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
