Microsoft is removing GPT Builder, also known as Copilot GPTs, from Copilot Pro. This move makes the $20 subscription less appealing. For those unaware, people with a Copilot Pro subscription can create their own Copilot GPTs using documents, external or internal sources, and prompt engineering.
Unlike the default Copilot experience, Copilot GPT is more personalized and advanced, and it’s one of ChatGPT’s flagship features. First spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft confirmed that it’s removing Copilot GPTs on July 10. In an email sent to Copilot Pro subscribers, Microsoft confirmed that it’s still committed to Copilot for consumers.
“We’re writing to let you know about an important upcoming change to your Copilot Pro subscription,” Microsoft writes in an email to Copilot Pro subscribers. “We are committed to improving your Copilot Pro subscription and regularly review how our subscribers use features within Microsoft products,” the company added.
What’s particularly interesting is that Copilot will still offer “GPTs” and GPT Builder to commercial and enterprise customers.
This change only affects consumers as enterprise and commercial customers can still use GPTs. The company won’t tell us the real reason, but it’s trying to figure out a new strategy for consumer Copilot extensibility.
