Copilot
What is Copilot?
Microsoft's AI assistant brand, embedded across Office 365, Windows, GitHub, and other Microsoft products. Powered by OpenAI models. Also used generically to describe AI tools that assist professionals with tasks rather than replacing them entirely.
Example in practice
A sales team using Microsoft 365 Copilot to draft follow-up emails after Outlook meetings is using the Copilot product in its narrow professional-productivity form.
