Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-driven feature set integrated within the Microsoft 365 application suite. It operates by processing natural language prompts from the user in conjunction with their existing data, such as documents, emails, and calendar events, within the Microsoft Graph. The system utilizes large language models to generate, summarize, and edit content directly within applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Input is provided via a text-based chat interface, and the output is rendered as formatted text, presentation slides, or data analysis within the active application. The primary audience for this tool consists of enterprise users and business professionals who rely on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem for daily operations. A common use case involves a project manager instructing Copilot in Teams to summarize meeting discussions and list action items. Another workflow sees a data analyst using text commands in Excel to generate pivot tables and charts from a raw data set. It can also be used to draft a formal proposal in Word based on a set of bullet points.
