Microsoft Copilot combines all work, internet content and data on the user’s computer. It also aims to protect users’ privacy and security.
Integrated with Windows, Copilot simplifies complex tasks and enables rapid content production. Copilot can be accessed via a keyboard shortcut or taskbar, ensuring usability across all applications at home, school or work.
Bing Chat Enterprise is another feature that runs on Microsoft Copilot, helping to prevent data from being leaked outside the organization with commercial data protection.
Chat history is not stored and the data is not used within the context of large language models (LLM).
Microsoft 365 Copilot, on the other hand, ensures that Microsoft 365 customers’ data processing occurs within Microsoft 365 by providing enterprise-level security, privacy, compliance and responsible artificial intelligence.
Özbilgin stated that artificial intelligence is also an important tool in optimizing energy consumption and using resources rationally.
New Products and Features
Microsoft also introduced other new artificial intelligence-based products, including Paint developed with new artificial intelligence capabilities, strengthened Photos, new Outlook offering multi-account management, and Windows Backup facilitating file/application transfer. Bing supports OpenAI’s DALL.E model, making the search experience more personalized and visual. All these new features and Windows Copilot will be available with the Windows 11, version 22H2 update as of September 26.
Microsoft announced that it is offering new and powerful Surface devices for pre-order so that these artificial intelligence capabilities can be used.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft’s new AI-based product, is designed to help users with their work. This system combines large language models (LLM) with your data from Microsoft 365 apps and the Microsoft Graph to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet.
Copilot is integrated into the Microsoft 365 applications you use every day, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and also offers a completely new experience called Business Chat.
This allows users to carry out transactions by issuing commands in natural language.
Working Principle of Copilot:
- Unleashing Creativity: Copilot helps users kick-start their creative process in Word, so users start by editing and modifying a draft. You can create beautiful presentations in PowerPoint and create professional-looking data visualizations in Excel.
- Increase Productivity: Copilot helps users save time by summarizing their emails and quickly drafting suggested responses. In Teams, you can summarize key discussion points and suggest action items in real-time during the meeting.
- Information Model Creation: Copilot creates a new information model for organizations. Business Chat works across all your business data and applications to surface the information and insights you need.
- Skill Development: Copilot allows users to get better at things they are good at and allows them to quickly learn things they haven’t learned yet. Copilot can use thousands of commands available in Microsoft 365 using natural language.
Security and Privacy:
Microsoft 365 Copilot is based on Microsoft’s comprehensive approach to security, compliance and privacy.
With features like two-factor authentication, compliance limits, privacy protections, and more, Copilot is an AI solution you can trust. Copilot uses the same technology Microsoft has used for years to protect user data, providing only data you can access.
Integration and Learning:
Copilot is integrated into the productivity apps that millions of people rely on for work and life every day.
Copilot can work across applications and is designed to learn new skills. For example, with Viva Sales it can connect to CRM systems and pull customer data.
Responsible AI:
Microsoft is guided by AI principles and the Responsible AI Standard. A multidisciplinary team reviews AI systems to examine potential harms and mitigations. Microsoft clearly states how it makes system decisions and encourages users to review, fact-check, and adjust content.
Following Months:
Microsoft will bring Copilot to all productivity apps in the coming months and will share more information about pricing and licensing. Copilot is being tested with a small group of customers and is being used to gather feedback and improve models as they scale.
In light of this information, it seems that Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to help users do their jobs more effectively and efficiently.
