What is Copilot ?

As per the tech giant, the main work of main aim of the AI tool is to integrates data from a user's Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps with large language models (LLMs). With this, the AI tool can prove to be the most potent tool for productivity.

Several frequently used Microsoft applications, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams, are now integrated with Copilot. With this tool, one can decide what to keep, amend, or dismiss.

The main three functions of the co-pilot are to free up creativity, free up productivity, and sharpen user skills.

Microsoft announced that Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365. The first one is its integration with Microsoft 365.When using it in word, you can quickly write, edit, summarise, and create a draft after giving a brief input.The draft then can be modified and edited by entering more focussed inputs from the user.
