How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?
Microsoft has applied the 'Copilot' branding to over 75 different products and features, creating significant confusion. Defining what Copilot actually is has become a challenge even for tech experts.
A few weeks ago, I tried to explain to someone what Microsoft Copilot is. I couldn’t… because the name ‘Copilot’ now refers to at least 75 different things.
Apps, features, platforms, a keyboard key, an entire category of laptops - and a tool for building more Copilots. All named ‘Copilot’.
I went looking for the full list. No single source had all of them. Not even Microsoft’s own website or documentation. So I pieced it together from product pages, launch announcements, and marketing materials.
The visualisation below maps every one, grouped by category, with lines showing how they connect. It’s interactive - click around. Try to find a pattern. I couldn’t.
