Business value
Microsoft Copilot in Business Central is the AI-powered assistant that boosts creativity, improves productivity and eliminates tedious tasks. Copilot can help reduce the time it takes to identify trends and anomalies in your business data by enabling you to express your analysis as a simple sentence, without ever leaving Business Central. By describing how you want to structure your data analysis, such as “show me vendors by location sorted by amount of purchases,” you can quickly get to insights instead of spending time on the clicks and keystrokes to construct analysis views. For example, you can use this feature to identify which vendors supply each of your warehouses, and then take steps to optimize your supply chain or negotiate better deals with your vendors.

About security, privacy, and AI
Copilot is built on Microsoft's comprehensive approach to enterprise security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI. Our philosophy is that your data is your data: customer data in Business Central is not used to train AI models.
