Copilot is the artificial intelligence assistant developed by Microsoft for personal and professional use. It is integrated into products such as Windows, Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), Edge, Teams, GitHub, and other environments, offering text generation, data analysis, automation, and contextual assistance capabilities.
Copilot enables drafting emails, summarizing documents, generating presentations, analyzing spreadsheets, creating images, searching for real-time information, and executing tasks through natural language. Its integration with Microsoft 365 provides intelligent editing and data analysis functions in collaborative documents. In Windows, Copilot functions as an operating system assistant, with configuration control, file search, content generation, and contextual assistance capabilities.
The assistant adapts to the user's context, offering suggestions based on the application in use. In Edge, it allows interaction with web pages, content summarization, product comparison, and shopping. In GitHub, Copilot assists with code writing, function completion, and error detection during software development.
Copilot is available in a free version and as part of Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, and Premium subscriptions, with expanded features depending on the plan. It includes voice processing, image analysis, contextual memory, and customization capabilities. It can be used on mobile devices, desktop computers, web browsers, and collaboration platforms.
The system operates through language models that process user requests and generate responses based on the active application context and available data in the work environment.
