What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that seamlessly integrates with the Microsoft 365 products you’re already using. Whether you’re in Word, Outlook or Excel, Copilot uses data from your files to draft fresh content, provide summaries and answer your queries, elevating your business efficiency and customer engagement to a whole new level.
Ramp up your productivity
Copilot is designed to work hand-in-hand with every application in the Microsoft Office suite. From drafting emails and scheduling meetings in Outlook, to editing documents in Word and generating charts and reports in Excel, Copilot will streamline your daily tasks. For data analysis or research tasks, Copilot can provide you with quick insights and summaries, helping you to make informed decisions faster and with greater confidence. With Copilot by your side, you can reserve more time for tasks that truly matter.
Enhance your creativity
Copilot is not just about productivity. It’s also a creative companion that suggests content variations and creative ideas, inspiring new approaches to your work. It can also bring your own ideas to life, which is particularly valuable for marketing, design and content creation roles.
Example: In Word, you can type a prompt in the Draft with Copilot box, like “Write some taglines for a company focused on inclusive design.”
Boost your team collaboration
Copilot can also enhance your team’s collaboration. Need a quick overview of your latest project, meeting or email chain? Copilot can compile concise summaries, saving you the hassle of going through documents or messages. It can also assist in coordinating projects and tasks.
Example: After a Teams meeting, go to the Recap tab and open Copilot to get a summary of the meeting. You could ask, “What questions were asked, answered and unresolved?” or "Can you summarize the conversation in simpler terms?”
Promote accessibility and inclusion
With Copilot, your digital content can be made more accessible by generating summaries, captions and alternative text for images. This can help ensure that content is more inclusive for all audiences.
Stay safe and secure with Copilot
Any data that you share with Copilot is solely used for your organization. It isn’t used to train any of the foundational learning models used by Copilot. And, the security rules that you have set up for your organization are automatically applied to Copilot, which means you don’t need to do any extra work to make sure your data is protected.
