I literally am obsessed with GPT-5. I ask it everything troubleshooting errors to what are deepfakes to when is the next season of Real Housewives of New York City. I even name it Chet to feel like family 😳


Now, it is now rolling out in Microsoft 365 Copilot—and yes, that means smarter, more thoughtful AI in all your favorite productivity tools. So I am tickled pink.


What Makes GPT-5 Stand Out?


GPT‑5 brings a whole new level of smarts to your digital workspace. It blends fast and flexible responses with deep, thoughtful reasoning, all in one. I love that it gives me a little why. Whether you need a quick summary or a more nuanced recommendation, Copilot will now bring its A-game. That seamless mix is what we mean by a "two-brain" approach—fast when needed, but always ready to think deeper. Yes you have to check its answers and no it’s not always right but c'mon—it freakin' helps.

 

Who Gets It, and When?


  • Copilot for Microsoft 365 license holders—you’re in luck: GPT‑5 is available today. Just look for the “Try GPT‑5” button in Copilot Chat and go for it.

  • Non-licensed users—no worries! GPT‑5 is gradually rolling out to everyone over the coming weeks.

Create Custom AI with Copilot Studio


Tinkerers and builders, this one's for you: Copilot Studio now lets you build custom AI agents powered by GPT‑5. From prompt design to task automation, you can deploy more powerful, context-savvy workflows using the newest model.


What GPT-5 Can Do — Try These Prompts!


Want to take it for a spin? Try these prompts in Copilot:


  • “Read my recent emails and chats—what themes do you see? What are my communication strengths and growth areas?”

  • “What are the latest updates on [project name]? Help me figure out next steps.”

  • “For our last project, what worked well and what didn’t? Draft a lessons‑learned summary.”


In Context: Why This Matters


The beauty of GPT‑5 in Copilot is that it understands you—your emails, meetings, files, and even your style. It's not just a chatbot. It's your thoughtful coworker—ready to organize the noise, surface insights, and even challenge your assumptions. I think of it as a little peer review. I’m busy, some days I rush- we all do and this helps me feel like I have another set of eyes. In a far less creepy way.


Quick Highlights


  • Available now for Microsoft 365 Copilot license users

  • "Try GPT-5" button gives you access—instantly smarter conversations

I'm genuinely excited—this is a great leap in AI becoming invisible but invaluable in our day-to-day. I am going a little further with it everyday and trying to figure out how to leverage AI and tools in our new world. Many of us wonder how to get started. I am starting small and just trying to push it more and more. I love the productivity Copilot gives me and feel like I can go even deeper and ask for anything with GPT-5. If only it could finish my bathroom Reno…
