Microsoft makes Copilot available to all advertisers

Microsoft Copilot now offers AI-powered conversational support, creative asset recommendations and content generation capabilities.

Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot is now available for all advertisers across the Microsoft Advertising Platform, a month after they increased the testing pool, the company announced today.

Why we care: Microsoft touts CopIlot as a way for advertisers to save time on routine tasks, focus on strategic decision-making and improve overall performance. We’ll be watching closely to see whether these claims are actually true for advertisers.

What’s new. Copilot offers several AI-powered capabilities within the ad platform, including:

  • Natural language conversational chat to get answers and synthesize info.
  • Recommendations for ad creative assets like images and copy.
  • AI-generated images and other assets on demand.
  • Integrated throughout the platform UI and workflows.

What it looks like. Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like in the Microsoft platform:
