How Microsoft 365 Copilot works
Get an inside look at how large language models (LLMs) work when you connect them to the data in your organization. See what makes this possible and how the process respects your privacy to keep data safe with Microsoft 365 Copilot. The LLM for Microsoft 365 Copilot is hosted in the Microsoft Cloud and is not trained on your organizational data. Copilot automatically inherits your organization’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft 365.
