What is Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is an assistant based on generative AI that integrates the most advanced language models (such as GPT-4) directly into Microsoft 365 applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
This intelligent assistant, also known as Copilot Pro, acts as a digital copilot to help you write, summarize, automate tasks, and make faster decisions within your usual workflow.
How does Microsoft Copilot work?
Copilot combines your organization’s data (stored in Microsoft Graph) with natural language processing (NLP) to generate text, automate workflows, and perform real-time analysis. You can ask it questions directly within Word, Excel, or Teams, and it will respond contextually, integrated with your documents and business data.
