Microsoft Co-pilot: The fast-paced world needs continuous advancement in technology to improve productivity and efficiency.
Recognizing this need Microsoft has launched an AI-powered tool named Microsoft Copilot. This specially designed, built-in extension streamlines work processes to boost productivity. It easily integrates into Microsoft 365 applications, providing real-time information and assistance across different tasks.
You can work smarter and not harder with this artificial intelligence companion to draft emails, write documents, create presentations, etc.
This article is a step-by-step guide to help you learn and understand the activation and usage of Microsoft Copilot.
Microsoft Copilot, the AI chatbot, was launched on February 7, 2023. This built-in extension for Microsoft Edge is based on the Large Language Model (LLM). Previously known as Bing Chat, the tool working in parallel with Microsoft 365 applications is considered an indirect successor to Cortana.
It impacts the power of LLMs to examine work and provide suggestions or assistance to improve its quality. Other than giving suggestions about the content, the tools also help to translate language and provide different text formats and answers with relevant information and facts.
According to the official announcement by Microsoft, “Copilot will begin to roll out in its early form as part of our free update to Windows 11, starting Sept. 26 and across Bing, Edge, and Microsoft 365 Copilot this fall.”
To enable Microsoft Copilot, first of all, ensure its compatibility with your device. The Microsoft Copilot is currently available only for Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, and Business subscriptions.
The second important thing to use in Microsoft Copilot is a proper license. The initial Microsoft Copilot Service, formerly known as Bing Chat, is free, but other available Copilot experiences come with additional fees. One needs to pay a fee of $30 every month to use Microsoft 365 other than the business subscription. This subscription costs users $12 to $38 every month.
Other than this, Copilot for Sales and Service is priced at $50 per month. It can be accessed for free with higher-end Microsoft Dynamics 365 subscription packages.
Step 1: Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account.
Step 2: Open the Microsoft 365 application you want to use Copilot with (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
Step 3: Click on the “Copilot” tab in the top ribbon menu.
Step 4: Select the “Settings” gear icon.
Step 5: Toggle the switch next to “Enable Copilot” to the “On” position.
Step 6: Choose your preferred Copilot assistance level: “Basic,” “Moderate,” or “Advanced.”
Step 7: Click “Apply” or “OK” to save your settings.
Microsoft Copilot in Windows 11 is absolutely free, and one uses it by simply updating it to the latest version. Follow the below steps to install Microsoft Copilot:
Step 1: Update your device with the latest version of Windows.
Step 2: Find Copilot in the Windows 11 taskbar or use Win + C for quick access.
Once the copilot is enabled, you can access different features, from copy and paste to snipping tools and various other tasks. Also, you can maximize the result by providing clear context, experimenting with different settings, reviewing suggestions carefully, and adhering to feedback.
In conclusion, Microsoft Copilot is a revolutionary tool to enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency in the workplace. It is more than OpenAI’s Chat GPT embedded into Microsoft 365; the tool is a valuable asset for individuals and organizations. Also, the combined power of LLMs, including GPT-4 with Microsoft 365 apps, is the best companion to provide intelligent suggestions, enhance creativity, and reduce errors.
