Where Can You Find Claude? Did You Know It's Now Inside Copilot?

Many people tell me they prefer using Claude over Copilot. What often surprises them is that they may not have to choose anymore.

With the latest Microsoft Copilot experience, Claude models are available directly within M365 Copilot for people with a license, giving you access to the strengths of both platforms without constantly switching between tools.

What is Claude?

Claude is a family of AI models developed by Anthropic. It has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality writing, thoughtful analysis, and detailed reasoning. Many people particularly like Claude for content creation, document review, and strategic thinking tasks. 

Where Can You Access Claude Inside Microsoft Copilot?

This is the option many Microsoft 365 Copilot users don't realise exists.

Within Copilot, users can select different AI models depending on the task they are trying to complete. In addition to GPT models, Claude models such as Sonnet and Opus are also be available if you have the M365 Copilot license. 

Think of it like having a team of specialists:

This means you can stay within the Microsoft ecosystem while still benefiting from Claude's strengths. 

Why This Matters for Business Users

The biggest advantage is not just access to Claude. When Claude is accessed through Copilot, you can also benefit from Microsoft's workplace context, including your emails, documents, Teams chats, meetings and SharePoint content, depending on your licensing and settings. 

For many business users this means:

• Less copying and pasting between systems

• Better access to work information

• Strong writing and analysis capabilities

• Greater flexibility to choose the best model for the task

Which Model Should You Use?

The answer is simple.

Start with Auto and let Copilot decide.

If you're writing a proposal, strategy document, blog article or business case, try Claude Opus.

If you need a quick draft or summary, Claude Sonnet is often a good choice.

The best approach is to focus on the outcome you want rather than becoming obsessed with the technology behind it.

The AI landscape is changing quickly. Instead of choosing between Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT or other tools, we are increasingly seeing these capabilities brought together in a single experience. For Microsoft 365 users, that means Claude may already be closer than you think. The next time someone tells you they prefer Claude over Copilot, the answer might simply be:

"Have you checked if Claude is already inside your Copilot?"
