Frequently asked questions

  • Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that helps you work more efficiently by generating content, answering questions, analyzing information, and automating tasks. It combines large language models with your work data from Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 to provide personalized assistance.

    Copilot Chat is a web-grounded AI assistant included at no additional cost with eligible Microsoft 365 plans. It also includes Copilot in Outlook and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Customers can use custom agents built by their organization on a metered basis.

    When you purchase a Microsoft 365 plan with Copilot, or add a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to an existing subscription, you unlock additional capabilities, including Work IQ, Copilot in Teams and Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, access to Microsoft pre-built agents like Researcher, Analyst, and Facilitator, and the ability to use assistive custom agents at no additional cost. Organizations with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses also gain access to advanced analytics to measure usage, adoption, and business impact.
  • Copilot delivers AI assistance tailored to the Microsoft 365 app. For example, in Word, it helps draft documents, suggest edits, and summarize text. In Excel, it analyzes data, creates charts, and generates insights. In PowerPoint, it helps design presentations by generating outlines and recommending images or layouts. In Outlook, it drafts emails and summarizes lengthy email threads. In Teams, it recaps meetings and highlights action items from chats.
  • Microsoft Copilot is built with enterprise-grade security and privacy, using the same controls and permissions that help protect your data in Microsoft 365. Copilot follows your organization’s existing Microsoft 365 security settings. 
     
    Copilot interactions are designed to comply with your tenant’s security and compliance policies, including sensitivity labels and data loss prevention rules. Prompts, responses, and data are encrypted when stored. They aren’t used to train language models, including those used by Microsoft Copilot. Microsoft is committed to privacy and responsible AI practices.
  • Work IQ is the intelligence layer that enriches Microsoft Copilot and agents with an implicit understanding of your work—inside and out. It connects your context, workflows, and relationships to deliver an experience that is built just for you and the flow of your work. Work IQ includes data from multiple sources: Microsoft 365 content and metadata; line of business data ingested through Copilot connectors—and the comprehensive semantic index derived from your Microsoft 365 and line-of-business datasets. Work IQ also includes Copilot Memory to better understand your style, habits, and preferences. The result is a rich experience that is implicitly grounded in the details of your work patterns, relationships, and workflows. It enables Copilot to provide new insights and anticipate future needs and proactively take action to deliver the best results.
  • Agents are AI systems that help individuals and organizations manage tasks and make informed decisions. Using agents within Copilot, you and your business can drive efficiency and get more work done faster. Agents can perform various tasks to assist people and organizations:
    • Retrieve information: Query systems like HR, CRM, or financial databases.
    • Help with basic tasks: Submit expense reports, update CRM systems, create IT help desk tickets.
    • Perform specialized roles: Facilitate meetings, compile research reports, analyze data sets. 
    • Automate processes: Handle financial planning, sales qualification, and supplier communications.

  • You can create simple agents from Microsoft Copilot by selecting ‘New agent’ from the left pane. This experience allows you to create agents using natural language that are metered on a usage-basis without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

    For more advanced scenarios, log in to Copilot Studio, which provides a low-code way to create powerful agents. You’ll start by grounding your agent in your data for knowledge. Then, add actions to your business systems so it can complete tasks. For critical topics, you can design agent flows for more control. Then get testing and iterating.
  • Traditional AI models help individuals be more efficient. AI agents, however, can execute business processes. They range from simple prompt-and-response agents to advanced, fully autonomous agents that can complete entire workflows from start to finish. Agents can think or reason, remember, be trained, and even know when to ask for help. This makes them versatile tools for various business applications.
  • Copilot Studio that’s included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license lets the licensed users build and use internal agents within Microsoft 365 using the Copilot Chat and Standard harness at no additional cost.

    The standalone Copilot Studio license offers additional flexibility—you can create agents using the GitHub Copilot harness and publish to external channels (like websites, apps, and social platforms), non-licensed users can use the agent, and you can choose from different pricing options.
