Microsoft Copilot has already transformed how we work, but the introduction of GPT-5 marks a new chapter in AI-powered productivity. This latest upgrade brings a deeper level of intelligence and contextual awareness to everyday tasks, whether you’re drafting a proposal, analysing data, or managing your inbox.
New generation system
At the heart of this evolution is a dual-model system. GPT-5 can now switch between two specialised modes depending on the complexity of your request.
For quick, conversational tasks, it uses a fast-response model optimised for fluency and speed. When the task demands deeper reasoning, such as planning a campaign or interpreting a complex dataset, it shifts to a more deliberate model that takes time to understand the context and deliver structured, thoughtful responses.
This dynamic switching occurs seamlessly, ensuring users always receive the right kind of support without needing to select a mode themselves.
- Outlook: Copilot can now summarise long email threads, extract action items, and draft replies that match your tone.
- Word & PowerPoint: GPT-5 helps shape content with more nuance, offering suggestions that reflect your intent and audience.
- Excel: Smarter data analysis with natural language queries that can now tap into Python for advanced calculations.
- Teams and SharePoint: Customisable AI agents that help you automate workflows, summarise documents, and keep projects on track.

Getting started with GPT-5 in Copilot is simple. Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can activate the new model directly in Copilot Chat. From there, the system automatically selects the best model for each task, removing the guesswork and letting users focus on what matters most.
As organisations continue to explore the possibilities of AI, GPT-5 in Copilot offers a compelling glimpse into the future of work, one where intelligence is not just artificial, but truly collaborative.
