Microsoft finally released a macOS app for Copilot, its free generative AI chatbot.
Similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, Copilot enables users to ask questions and receive responses generated by AI. Copilot is designed to assist users in numerous tasks, such as drafting emails, summarizing documents, writing cover letters, and more. There’s also an image generator driven by DALL-E 3.
The wait is over – we can finally hang out on macOS! Download Copilot for Mac and try me out today.

When Microsoft first launched Copilot two years ago, it was only available on Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari web browsers. It didn’t roll out on Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices until early 2024. The AI assistant is also integrated into Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft apps. However, this new Copilot app gives Mac users a dedicated experience.
One important point about the macOS app is that it requires macOS 14.0 or later, as well as a Mac model with an Apple M1 chip or later. Similarly, Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI system, requires macOS 15.1 and a Mac model with an M1 chip or later.
In other recent news, Microsoft announced earlier this week that all Copilot users now have free, unlimited access to “Voice” and “Think Deeper” features. Copilot’s Voice capability can help users practice a new language, while Think Deeper is powered by OpenAI’s o1 model and can tackle more complex tasks.
