Microsoft has officially launched its Copilot AI app on the Mac App Store, bringing its AI-powered assistant to macOS users. While it was previously available only on iPhone and iPad, Copilot now has a dedicated macOS app with full support for keyboard shortcuts. This will make it easier for Mac users to access Microsoft’s AI assistant on their device.

However, using the app on Mac won’t be that straightforward.

Copilot only works on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 chip or later) running macOS 14.0 or higher. That means Intel-based Macs won’t be able to run the app. While a version of Copilot did work on Macs last year, it was actually the iPad version running on macOS. Microsoft later removed it but now, Copilot is back with a proper Mac app.

Copilot on Mac – What Can It Do?

According to Microsoft, Copilot is designed to be an AI companion for everyday life, offering tools for text and image generation, writing assistance, research help and much more.

Some key features you can expect are as follows –

AI-powered chat for answering questions, brainstorming ideas, and refining thoughts
Text generation and editing including composing emails, resumes, and cover letters
Multilingual translation and proofreading across hundreds of languages
AI image generation, allowing users to turn text prompts into high-quality visuals
Photo editing tools, including background removal and custom image creation
Content creation for social media, branding and even children’s book illustrations
Film and video storyboard visualisation for creatives and filmmakers

Copilot is designed to provide “straightforward answers to complex questions” and help users “achieve more with AI.”

Microsoft also highlights its ability to summarise text, generate creative content and provide AI-powered insights.
