Microsoft Copilot Chat

general-purpose AI chat assistant for work, grounded in the web

A general-purpose AI chat assistant: it researches and summarises information from the web, generates and rewrites content, analyses uploaded files, creates images and works with agents. It answers from a large language model grounded in web results and, only in some Microsoft 365 experiences, in the organisation's own content — Microsoft lists "Ask questions about supported organizational content in specific Microsoft 365 experiences."
