Get Copilot responses based on your own files (no copy/paste)
Use your files, emails, chats and meeting information automatically or with direct references using Copilot prompts in Microsoft 365 apps. You don't need to copy information then paste it into a browser tool or upload work files and images into other generative AI experiences. Instead, directly from Teams, Word, PowerPoint and other Microsoft 365 apps, you can leverage not only your opened file, email, chat or meeting, but also other work data that you have permissions to in SharePoint and OneDrive. Copilot retrieves and synthesizes information across emails, chats, and files, so you can generate presentations, respond to emails, and catch up on meetings. The Copilot process also follows your organization's policies for data protection and compliance, eliminating the need and added risk of bringing your work data to those tools.
Mary David Pasch, Principal Product Manager from the Copilot Platform team, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how Copilot enhances collaboration and efficiency, making complex tasks like document creation and information retrieval effortless and secure.
