The AI that works with you
How to harness the power of Copilot within your everyday tools.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is your new AI assistant, designed to streamline tasks across Word, Excel, Outlook, and other Microsoft 365 apps. Using natural language processing, Copilot helps you find and organise information in real-time, pulling data from your emails, documents, and beyond.
Powered by the Copilot System, it combines Large Language Models with data from the Microsoft Graph to execute tasks effortlessly across all Microsoft 365 apps. Beyond just ChatGPT, Copilot is built with security, compliance, and privacy in mind, making it safe for enterprise use.
Users feed Copilot prompts through a command in the app they’re using, which the AI then carries out within Microsoft 365. You can effortlessly generate drafts and edits right within your Microsoft 365 apps. Simply enter your prompts, and watch as Copilot creates content tailored to your needs. Whether you’re happy with the draft as is, want to tweak a few details, or need a complete overhaul, Copilot gives you a solid starting point while ensuring you’re always in control.
But that’s not all—Copilot can also enhance your existing documents. Beyond just catching spelling and grammar errors, it can completely rewrite sections to be more concise or integrate new information. It’s like having a personal editor on hand, helping you fine-tune your work while you stay in charge.
Improve your finance operations with Microsoft Copilot. By automating routine tasks, Copilot reduces resolution times, enhances agent productivity, and boosts customer satisfaction. It helps streamline risk management, simplify collections, and speed up financial reporting, allowing your team to focus on critical decisions.
Copilot also optimises outsourcing spend by increasing time for proactive audits and analysis, all while integrating smoothly with existing systems to enhance decision-making without costly updates. Ensure timely collections and maintain healthy cash flow with a solution that helps your team achieve more with fewer resources.
Copilot in Word ushers in a new era of writing, leveraging the power of AI. It can help you go from a blank page to a finished document in a fraction of the time it would take to compose text on your own. While it may write exactly what you need, sometimes it may be “usefully wrong,” thus giving you some helpful inspiration. Additionally, Copilot Chat can provide helpful actions based on your document content or obtain additional content from outside resources. If you’re looking for something more generic, beyond what’s in your draft, you can ask Copilot Chat questions to research, ideate, or iterate on possible content to add.
Whether you’re creating a new document or working on an existing one, Copilot can help you move forward.

For users with a Copilot for Microsoft 365 license, the “Reference your content” button allows you to search for and include up to three of your existing files as inputs to ground the content Copilot drafts.

You can also fine-tune Copilot’s response by entering details on how you’d like it to change.
