Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat was introduced earlier this year. It builds on the original Copilot tools that have been available in apps like Word and Excel. The difference is that now you can chat with it in a sidebar window while inside a given document.

So, for example, you could ask it to explain a document, write an email, or make a chart from a spreadsheet. And if you do the same tasks over and over again, you can create “AI assistants” — called agents — that will do those tasks for you automatically.

It’s meant to be safe and private, and is a great example of applying AI tools in your daily work. Read more about it here.
