What will remain free for private users for the time being is the artificial intelligence-based chatbot from the Bing search engine. However, Microsoft now wants to see money for commercial use. Business customers with a Microsoft 365 subscription will be able to use the new Bing Chat Enterprise at no extra cost. If no 365 subscription is available, the service will cost 5 US dollars per user per month.

The new Bing Chat Enterprise is now available as a preview version https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/bing/chat-enterprise. There is also a preview of Microsoft 365 Copilot, but only for paying customers. It is not yet clear when the two products will be officially released - but it should be soon.
