Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered productivity assistant that works directly inside your everyday Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. It combines large language models with your organizational data in Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 to help you write, analyze, summarize and collaborate more effectively.

Instead of switching to a separate chatbot, users stay in the flow of work and use natural language prompts to generate drafts, analyze data, prepare presentations or catch up on emails and meetings.

Key capabilities

• In-app assistance across Microsoft 365: Use Copilot directly in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft 365 apps to generate and refine content, summarize information and answer questions in context.
• Works with your business data: Uses Microsoft Graph to securely access documents, emails, calendars, chats and other data you already have permissions for, so responses are grounded in your work.
• Natural language to content and insights: Turn simple prompts into documents, emails, presentations and data summaries, and iterate with Copilot in a conversational way until the output matches your intent.
• Meeting and communication productivity: Summarize meetings and chats, extract action items and decisions, and help draft clear, concise emails or Teams messages.
• Enterprise-grade security and compliance: Built on the Microsoft 365 security, privacy and compliance stack so Copilot respects existing permissions and governance controls.

Typical outcomes

• Faster insights from documents, emails, chats and data
• Better prepared meetings and clearer communication
• Higher overall productivity by keeping people in the flow of their work
