What is Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant that helps you get more done by automating everyday tasks, giving you helpful insights, and working smoothly with the tools you already use. It’s built on Azure OpenAI (like ChatGPT) and helps improve productivity across Microsoft apps while keeping data safe and secure.
