Microsoft Copilot: The “Everyday AI Companion”

Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that can help you write, code, and design. It is still in preview but is rolling out to Windows 11, starting with an update earlier today. Enterprise customers should expect rollout later this year.

Copilot works by using a large language model (LLM) to generate text, code, and design suggestions. It can be used in a variety of Microsoft 365 apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

In this blog, we’ll cover what Copilot can be used for, why it might help your business, and how to get started with this emerging technology!

How do you use Copilot, and what can it do?

To use Copilot, you simply start typing, and Copilot will generate suggestions as you go. You can then accept or reject the suggestions or edit them to your liking. Copilot can also help you with tasks like summarizing text, writing emails, and creating presentations.

Here are some examples of what Copilot can do:

• Write text: Copilot can help you write blog posts, articles, and even books by generating ideas, composing sentences, and formatting your text.
• Code: Copilot can aid you in writing code in a variety of programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, and C#. It can provide code snippets, suggest variable names, and complete functions for you.
• Design: Copilot can help with design tasks like creating websites, logos, and presentations. It can generate ideas, create layouts, and add colors and fonts to enhance your designs.
