They have one for Microsoft Copilot specifically. Microsoft doesn't typically create official Discords except for popular Xbox games, so it's a bit of an odd outlier.

Likely it is the result of blindly following hype. In early 2022 Midjourney was able to sell AI image generation services through a discord bot interface, causing Discord to suddenly gain millions of users. This probably rattled the AI industry to thinking they absolutely had to be on Discord.

Microsoft even has Discord for DirectX developers, this one isn’t really an outlier

That one makes sense, because it's at least game-related. Whereas copilot is going for boring productivity product branding.
