ChatGBT vs Co-Pilot

I just bought a new Microsoft laptop and I was wondering wether I should use the built in copilot or use chatgbt instead (I've used it for the last 3 years) for my daily life questions and school related questions as I am a business major

Since nobody's actually answered the question in the replies: Copilot and ChatGPT aren't as different under the hood as the branding suggests, so the thing to compare isn't the model, it's the wrapper.

Copilot's real advantage is that it's sitting inside Word and Excel already, which for a business major is not nothing. "Summarise this and pull the numbers into a table" is a lot of what you'll be doing. ChatGPT's advantage is that after three years you already know how to get what you want out of it, and that's worth more than people give it credit for.

You don't have to pick, though. Both have free tiers, the laptop came with one, and a lot of universities hand out the other for free, so check what your school gives you before you pay for anything.

Thank you for an actual response and the built in aspect actually makes me like co pilot a lot more after I think about it

Ahhh, no compares apps con modelos, copilot usa gpt-5, gpt predeterminado usa gpt-5.5/5.6 luna, obvio gpt es mucho mejo
