Copilot for Microsoft 365 (General)

Within Microsoft's workplace software, Microsoft 365 Copilot provides conversational AI assistance for tasks involving documents, email and meetings. It works with applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. Common uses include drafting text from a prompt, summarizing information, helping shape presentations and preparing email replies. Its purpose is to support work already happening inside these applications rather than require a separate writing workflow.

The integration suits business professionals and teams whose daily work depends on Microsoft 365. A useful distinction from a standalone chatbot is the connection to workplace content and application tools, subject to the organization's access permissions and configuration. Generated text and summaries still need human review, particularly when accuracy matters. Available functions depend on the application and the organization's setup.
