Microsoft Copilot Chat for the Web Guide

What is Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is a generative AI tool grounded in a chat interface designed to enhance your learning experience and streamline your workflow. Building upon the latest large language models, GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, Copilot can help you generate ideas, draft documents, analyze data, create presentations, and more! Most importantly, Copilot is protected by Penn’s data security agreements with Microsoft. You can take advantage of LLMs safely as long as you log in with your PennO365 account.
