Introduction
Microsoft 365 Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your organization's data in the Microsoft Graph to unlock productivity and unleash creativity through the Microsoft 365 apps that millions of people use every day. By understanding these components, you can gain insight into how Microsoft 365 Copilot delivers intelligent recommendations and suggestions. The module then reinforces these concepts when it examines how Microsoft 365 Copilot works, starting with the user prompt and ending with the Microsoft 365 Copilot response.
The module concludes by examining how organizations can extend Microsoft 365 Copilot by using Microsoft Graph connectors. While Microsoft 365 Copilot is already able to use the apps and data within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, many users still depend on various external tools and services for work management and collaboration. Microsoft Graph connectors enable organizations to integrate their Microsoft 365 environment with the enterprise applications software and services that they use.
Scenario

For example, Microsoft 365 Copilot can suggest replies when composing emails in Outlook, propose text edits and formatting changes in Word documents, or recommend relevant images and icons to insert in PowerPoint slides. By doing so, Microsoft 365 Copilot helps users navigate their work more effectively and efficiently.
