Microsoft Copilot is a built-in digital assistant from Microsoft that helps people work faster and more easily inside everyday programs like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams.

You can think of Copilot as a helpful assistant that works inside the Microsoft tools many people already use. Instead of starting from a blank page or searching for answers, you can ask Copilot to help write, summarize, explain, or organize information.

Here are a few examples of what Microsoft Copilot can help with:

• Writing and editing documents in Word

• Summarizing emails or drafting responses in Outlook

• Organizing and explaining data in Excel

• Recapping meetings and conversations in Teams

Copilot uses artificial intelligence (often called AI, which means computer technology designed to assist people with tasks). It does not replace people or make decisions on its own. People remain in control and review the results before using them.

Microsoft Copilot is designed to help reduce repetitive work, save time, and make technology easier to use. As tools like Copilot become more common, the Digital Business Hub will continue sharing easy-to-understand information to help businesses and residents use these tools safely and effectively.
