Any browser, any OS
A web chat that works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS with nothing installed.
Copilot alternative
A Copilot alternative without the Microsoft account.
Copilot is designed to be inseparable from Windows, Office and a Microsoft identity. That is useful if you live there and awkward if you do not — and either way it means one lab's models and one company's account.
What each option ties you to
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| BlueAI Free ★ | $0 | 600 messages a month, encrypted history, strong everyday models |

What a standalone chat gives you
More than one lab
GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek in one place instead of a single vendor's roster.
No corporate identity
No Microsoft account, no work tenant, no email. A username and password are enough.
Encrypted by default
History is sealed in your browser, not filed against an organisational profile.
When deep integration is the wrong trade
Copilot's pitch is that the assistant is already inside the documents. When your work genuinely lives in Word and Excel, that is worth paying for. When it does not, you are paying $20 a month for integrations you never trigger and accepting a single lab's models as a side effect.
A standalone chat inverts the priorities: model choice first, price second, integrations last. Free covers 600 messages a month, Pro is $5 with flagship models and 36 research sessions, and files can be uploaded to a conversation when you need them there.
It is also the only version of this that works when your machine is not the one you signed in on.
Questions about replacing Copilot
BlueAI is a standalone AI chat with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek, free to start and $5/month for Pro — about a quarter of Copilot Pro, with no Microsoft account required.
Yes. BlueAI accounts need a username and password only, with no email and no Microsoft or Google identity.
Copilot Pro is around $20 a month. BlueAI Pro is $5, or $50 a year, and there is a free plan with 600 messages a month.
No. It is a chat rather than an Office add-in. You can upload a document to a conversation and work on it there.
18+ models across the major labs, with a router that picks per question. Flagships such as GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Grok 4.5 are on paid plans.
Conversation history is encrypted in your browser before storage, nothing is sold, and no ads are served.
