Describe how Microsoft 365 Copilot unlocks a new way of working
People and organizations are constantly seeking ways to make a positive impact through work we love. We want to do work that gives us purpose and joy. But in today's world of work, we spend too much time on the grunt work and too little time on the work that gives us energy and sparks creativity. To solve this problem, we need a better way of doing the same things. We need a whole new way to work.
Microsoft is bringing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to work. Introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot, your copilot for work. It combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet. And it does so within our existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise.
Microsoft 365 Copilot works alongside you in two ways, integrated in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more, and through Microsoft 365 Copilot, to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and develop skills. Similarly, to AI chat apps, Microsoft 365 Copilot can search the web, with the added advantage of using your work content, such as chats, emails, and files to help you create content, keep up with what you might have missed, and find answers to specific work questions. With Copilot for Microsoft 365, you’re always in control and you decide what to keep, modify or discard.
Microsoft 365 Copilot unleashes creativity in Microsoft 365 apps by generating first drafts, beautiful presentations, and data visuals to iterate on. It helps save time and move unique ideas forward while keeping you in control. Microsoft 365 Copilot unlocks productivity by surfacing the information you need across Microsoft 365 apps, summarizing emails and meetings, taking notes, identifying action items, and enabling anyone to build apps and bots faster. Copilot lightens your load so you can focus on the work that really matters. Microsoft 365 Copilot develops skills by making you better at what you’re good at and let’s you quickly master what you have yet to learn. Copilot unlocks thousands of features across all Microsoft 365 apps just through natural language interactions.
As part of Microsoft 365, Copilot inherits comprehensive security, compliance, and privacy safeguards like authentication, boundaries, and protections. Copilot's architecture prevents data leakage across tenants, groups, and users by not training on customer data, following permissions, and only surfacing accessible information to individuals. Copilot has foundational skills for productivity and collaboration. Copilot knows how to command apps and work across them, and is designed to continuously learn new domain skills, eventually taking on more advanced tasks. Microsoft follows stringent AI principles and research to build responsible AI systems. This is done through cross-disciplinary teams reviewing for potential harms, refining data/models, blocking sensitive topics, correcting bias, explaining limitations, and empowering user oversight.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is a game-changer on how people work with AI and how AI works with people. Like any new work pattern, it takes some time to get used to, but those who adopt this new way of working will soon have an advantage.
