Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new digital work partner that enhances creativity, productivity, and abilities in Microsoft 365's Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more.
It uses next-generation AI, large language models (LLMs), the Microsoft Graph, and Microsoft 365 apps to make your words the most powerful productivity tool.
Copilot improves and speeds learning, integrates LLMs, and integrates with GPT-4, Microsoft 365 apps, and company data in the Microsoft Graph. It creates, summarizes, analyzes, collaborates, and automates with company data, and can “animate this slide” and convert Word pages to PowerPoint.

Microsoft Copilot is a chatbot developed by Microsoft and launched on February 7, 2023. Based on a large language model, it is able to cite sources, create poems, and write songs. It is Microsoft's primary replacement for the discontinued Cortana.
The service was introduced under the name Bing Chat, as a built-in feature for Microsoft Bing and Microsoft Edge. Over the course of 2023, Microsoft began to unify the Copilot branding across its various chatbot products, cementing the copilot analogy. At its Build 2023 conference, Microsoft announced its plans to integrate Copilot into Windows 11, allowing users to access it directly through the taskbar. In January 2024, a dedicated Copilot key was announced for Windows keyboards.
Like other chatbots, Copilot utilizes generative artificial intelligence technology, namely the Microsoft Prometheus model, built upon OpenAI's GPT-4 foundational large language model, which in turn has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. Copilot's conversational interface style resembles that of ChatGPT. The chatbot is able to communicate using numerous languages and dialects.
Microsoft operates Copilot on a freemium model. Users on its free tier can access most features, while priority access to newer features, including custom chatbot creation, is provided to paid subscribers under the "Microsoft Copilot Pro" paid subscription service. Several default chatbots are available in the free version of Microsoft Copilot, including the standard Copilot chatbot as well as Microsoft Designer, which is oriented towards using its Image Creator to generate images based on text prompts.
