Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that enhances productivity by helping users with tasks like drafting content, analyzing data, and collaborating.
It integrates with Microsoft 365 applications, such as Word, Excel, and Teams, to provide context-aware assistance by using large language models (LLMs) and data from the Microsoft Graph. This allows it to generate relevant, real-time responses based on both web content and a user's own permitted work data.
