Copilot is now available for Microsoft 365. Copilot brings artificial intelligence (AI) to the modern workspace. This tool integrates with Microsoft 365 applications (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams) and the Microsoft Graph (which indexes your organisation’s content). It uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model (LLM) to bring new assistive tools and skills.
