Okay, I will check the accuracy of the Microsoft Copilot "Image Generation (Designer)" feature data in your reference database.

Perplexity

Result: Detected change

Full response

1. Pricing tier availability

INCORRECT. Stored data lists Free (15 boosts/day) and Copilot Pro (100 boosts/day) with access; Copilot for Microsoft 365 is unmentioned. Current data shows image generation now restricted: Free/Personal plans limited to 60 credits/month (not daily boosts), with users reporting sudden inability to generate new images due to plan type (e.g., Personal plan blocked as of Feb 20, 2026).[3][4] Copilot Pro and Copilot for Microsoft 365 provide extensive usage beyond standard limits, with M365 Copilot requiring eligible paid subscription.[6]

2. Platform/surface availability

PARTIALLY CORRECT (minor updates needed). Matches for Windows (✅ native), macOS (✅), Linux (❌), iOS (✅), Android (✅), web (✅ copilot.microsoft.com), terminal (❌), Chrome (❌, but web covers browsers), API (❌). Confirmed broad availability across web, mobile (iOS/Android), Windows 11 desktop; integrated into M365 apps including Teams post-Designer retirement (complete Feb 27, 2026).[2][5][6] No Linux/terminal/API support noted; macOS via web/mobile apps.

3. Current status

CORRECT. Remains GA (generally available). Designer bot retired in Teams (mid-Jan to Feb 27, 2026, MC1197104), fully replaced by Copilot image generation, which shipped to broad availability in 2024 and continues as consolidated GA feature.[1][2]

4. Access gating

INCORRECT. Stored "paid" is outdated; now paid-only with credits/limits for consumer tiers (e.g., 60 credits/month for Personal/Free), requiring eligible M365 subscription for full access—free/basic no longer suffices without limits.[3][4][6]

5. Regional availability

CORRECT (no change detected). Stored "Available globally" holds; no region-specific limitations mentioned in sources.[1][2][5][6]

6. Official URL

CORRECT/MATCHES (active). copilot.microsoft.com (web) aligns; official pages: https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ai-image-generator (Copilot image gen) and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/create-ai-generated-images-with-the-microsoft-365-copilot-app-14658f53-0b48-4435-baa6-a869f87247d2 (active, describes feature).[5][6]

7. Recent changes

INCORRECT (major changes). In last 30 days (post-Feb 2026): Teams Designer bot/banners fully retired (Feb 27, 2026, MC1197104), forcing use of Copilot image gen; consumer Free/Personal tiers downgraded to 60 credits/month with blocks on new images (reported Feb 20, 2026); shift to credit-based limits from daily boosts; Copilot now sole handler using GPT-4o (vs. prior DALL·E).[1][2][3][4] No March 2026 deprecations noted.[9]
