Microsoft 365 Copilot

M365 Copilot is an AI assistant designed to help you with various tasks right within the Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. This tool is powered by the latest AI technology from OpenAI, called GPT-4, which allows it to understand and assist with your work in real-time.

Here’s what you can do with M365 Copilot:

  • In Word: It can automatically create summaries of your documents or help draft new content.

  • In Excel: It can analyze your data and help with complex calculations, giving you insights and summaries without needing deep data skills.

  • In PowerPoint: It can assist in creating presentations by organizing your content attractively and effectively.

M365 Copilot includes access to Copilot Studio, which can be used to create and share custom agents.

Additionally, M365 Copilot can search through files stored in your OneDrive to gather information or help manage documents. However, it does not search through files on your local computer directly. If you need to work with files from your computer, you can upload them during a chat session in the M365 Copilot, enabling the Copilot to access and interact with these files.
