Microsoft (MSFT) is folding its AI subscription service for consumers into Office in an effort to help the company better compete against OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Bloomberg’s Matt Day reports. On Wednesday, Microsoft announced a higher-priced tier of Microsoft 365, which will include an integrated chatbot and AI features such as image generation, alongside the current package of Word, Excel, Outlook and other Office apps. Customers currently paying for the phone- and web-based Copilot Pro chatbot will eventually be moved over, Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s consumer chief marketing officer, said in an interview.
