As per the blog, “Copilot is more than OpenAI’s ChatGPT embedded into Microsoft 365. It’s a sophisticated processing and orchestration engine working behind the scenes to combine the power of LLMs, including GPT-4, with the Microsoft 365 apps and your business data in the Microsoft Graph — now accessible to everyone through natural language.” Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways.
- Embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps users use every day: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more — to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills.
- Business Chat, which works across the Microsoft 365 apps and your data: your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before.
