MICROSOFT

Microsoft Opens Copilot GPT Builder to All Pro Subscribers 🤖

Microsoft's Copilot GPT Builder, a tool that allows users to create and share customized, task-specific versions of the chatbot, is now available to all Copilot Pro subscribers.

Details:

• Copilot Pro subscribers can access the GPT Builder via the Copilot web app

• Users can build custom AI assistants tailored to their needs using plain language instructions. No coding knowledge is required.

• Users can share their Copilot GPTs via a custom link; recipients don't need a Copilot Pro subscription to use the GPT. The creator can modify, remove, or stop sharing their Copilot GPTs at any time.

Free Copilot users will be able to use these Copilot GPTs, unlike ChatGPT users, who need the subscription to create and use GPTs.

While Microsoft's Copilot GPT Builder shares a lot of similarities with OpenAI's GPT Builder, the two companies reportedly did not collaborate on this project, despite their close partnership.

How to generate images with consistent faces in Midjourney
