Microsoft Copilot Mastery

What Microsoft Copilot Can Do for You

Copilot is AI Built Into Your Office Apps

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, you likely have access to Copilot — AI built directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.

Unlike ChatGPT (which you visit separately), Copilot is embedded right where you work. It can see your documents, emails, calendar, and chats — and help you work with all of them.
