Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is an AI-powered tool that uses advanced language models to understand your prompts and generate useful responses.

But what does that actually mean for you? Well, it's a bit like having your own personal assistant that you can ask questions or give instructions to. It gives you answers and suggestions that will help you work faster and more efficiently.

You start by entering a prompt in the chat or prompt panel. This is just a way of telling Copilot what you want.

For example, a simple prompt might be something like: “Create an agenda for my team meeting.”

Copilot then uses artificial intelligence, or AI, to generate complete answers just like you'd get if you were talking to a real person.

In other words, you're having a conversation with Copilot chat, and that conversation ends with the content you need.

Copilot Chat can help you with tasks like drafting content or researching topics. The more you use it, the more you'll see how versatile it is.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat operates in two modes, Work and Web, and their focus is different.

Web mode is the free, unlicensed version. That means it accesses content from across the web in real time to respond to your prompt.

Work mode is the enterprise version of Copilot Chat. It gives you protected web access, but also connects directly to your organization’s Microsoft 365 environment, so you can upload your work documents to it.

No matter which version you're using, remember that Copilot Chat can get things wrong. The answers it gives you are not always true or accurate, so it's really important to verify information by having a human in the loop to check any outputs.
