OpenAI Products (Powered by Microsoft)

  • ChatGPT (via Azure OpenAI or OpenAI.com)
  • DALL·E (image generation)
  • Codex (coding assistant, also powers GitHub Copilot)
  • Whisper (speech-to-text)
  • GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 API (via Azure OpenAI)
  • Copilot in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook
  • Copilot in GitHub (GitHub Copilot)
  • Copilot in Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps)

Understanding the Difference: Microsoft and OpenAI are closely partnered, but they build and manage different technologies. Microsoft develops its own ecosystem of products like Windows, Edge, Power BI, and Teams. Meanwhile, OpenAI focuses on cutting-edge artificial intelligence, including the popular ChatGPT model, DALL·E for image generation, and Codex for code generation.

Thanks to their partnership, many Microsoft products now include powerful OpenAI technology under the brand name Copilot. For example, Word and Excel Copilot use OpenAI's GPT models to assist users in writing, summarizing, and analyzing content directly inside Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft also sells OpenAI’s models (like GPT-4 and DALL·E) to businesses via the Azure OpenAI Service. This allows organizations to build custom AI tools with enterprise-grade security and scale.

In short, if you're using Copilot in a Microsoft app, you're using OpenAI’s intelligence inside a Microsoft product. This comparison above helps you see which tools belong directly to Microsoft, and which ones are powered by OpenAI’s foundational models.
