How to Enable & Use Copilot Plugins on Windows 11

We’ve already entered the era of artificial intelligence, when producing images and films in under a minute doesn’t require any prior knowledge, just as writing essays doesn’t require any academic background. It all began when OpenAI released ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, for free to the general public.

Since ChatGPT has already achieved enormous popularity, other AI chatbots, such as Microsoft Copilot, have been developed. Copilot gives users access to the most recent GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo models even if ChatGPT is powered by the same GPT model.

Microsoft also just released Copilot Pro, the premium edition of the program. See the thorough comparison of Copilot Free vs. Copilot Pro if you’re still unclear about the two.

The Copilot Plugins and how to enable and use them on a conversation will be covered in this post. Let’s look at how to use Copilot Plugins and explore its features.

ChatGPT Plugins and Copilot Plugins are extremely similar. Nevertheless, ChatGPT only permits plugin additions in its premium edition; Microsoft offers this functionality at no cost to you.
