Review the [prerequisites](microsoft-365-copilot-requirements.md) and verify that your organization is prepared for Microsoft 365 Copilot. ++2. Assign the required licenses to your users. ++3. Send an email to your users announcing Microsoft 365 Copilot and its features. ++You can use the [Microsoft 365 Copilot setup guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2243702) in the Microsoft 365 admin center to perform all three steps, or use the steps described in this article. ++## Assign licenses ++This article assumes that you have already provisioned users in your tenant. If you haven't already done so, follow the steps in the [Microsoft 365 Copilot setup guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2243702) or those documented in [Add users and assign licenses in Microsoft 365](/microsoft-365/admin/add-users/add-users). If you use either of these resources, you can create users and assign the necessary licenses at the same time. ++If your users exist, you can assign licenses for Microsoft 365 Copilot using the [Microsoft 365 admin center](/microsoft-365/admin/manage/assign-licenses-to-users) or PowerShell using the [Set-MsolUserLicense](/powershell/module/msonline/set-msoluserlicense) cmdlet. For example: ++```PowerShell + Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName \<UserName\> -AddLicenses "\<tenantname\>:Microsoft_365_Copilot" +``` ++```PowerShell + Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName <adelev@contoso.com> -AddLicenses "contoso:Microsoft_365_Copilot" +``` ++After a user has been assigned a license for Microsoft 365 Copilot, the Copilot experience will automatically appear for them in the Microsoft 365 Apps. In some experiences, like Word, for example, a Copilot dialog will appear when creating a new document. In other experiences, Copilot is quickly accessible on the Ribbon. To use Copilot in Teams, users must [add the Copilot app](https://support.microsoft.com/office/add-an-app-to-microsoft-teams-b2217706-f7ed-4e64-8e96-c413afd02f77). ++## Send welcome email ++After licensing your users for Microsoft 365 Copilot, we recommend sending them a welcome email to introduce them to Microsoft 365 Copilot and help them understand what it can do for them. The easiest way to do this is to use the [Microsoft 365 Copilot setup guide](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2243702), which includes an option for sending a welcome email to your Copilot users. HereΓÇÖs an example of this email: +++The welcome email also includes a link to an interactive website for [Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://support.microsoft.com/copilot). ++## Enable feedback ++We recommend that you enable all feedback settings for the Microsoft 365 Apps. This allows Microsoft 365 Copilot users to provide details with their thumbs up or thumbs down reaction to what Copilot produced from their prompt. You can use either the [cloud policy service](https://config.office.com) or group policies to enable the feedback for your users. Once all the policies are enabled, users will have the option to provide logs, screenshots, an email address for further contact about their feedback submission. ++## Microsoft 365 Copilot usage activity report ++After your users have had a chance to use Copilot, we recommend running and reviewing the [Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report](/microsoft-365/admin/activity-reports/microsoft-365-copilot-usage) (which is in continuous enhancement) to get a summary of user adoption, retention, and engagement with Microsoft 365 Copilot. The report can be found in the Microsoft 365 admin center under **Reports** > **Usage**. |
| microsoft-365-copilot-overview | Microsoft 365 Copilot Overview | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/commits/public/copilot/microsoft-365-copilot-overview.md | + + Title: "Microsoft 365 Copilot overview" +f1.keywords: +- NOCSH +++ Last updated : 09/20/2023+audience: Admin +++ms.localizationpriority: medium ++- Tier2 +- scotvorg +- M365-subscription-management +- Adm_O365 +- Adm_TOC +- m365copilot +- essentials-overview +description: "Learn about how Microsoft 365 Copilot works." +++# Microsoft 365 Copilot overview ++[Microsoft 365 Copilot](/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/microsoft-365-copilot) is an AI-powered productivity tool that coordinates large language models (LLMs), content in Microsoft Graph, and the Microsoft 365 apps that you use every day, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and others. This integration provides real-time intelligent assistance, enabling users to enhance their creativity, productivity, and skills. ++Microsoft 365 Copilot uses a combination of LLMs, a type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and vast data sets to understand, summarize, predict, and generate content. These LLMs include pre-trained models, such as Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPT) like GPT-4, designed to excel in these tasks. ++## Copilot integration with Graph and Microsoft 365 Apps ++[Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2023/03/16/introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-a-whole-new-way-to-work/) is a sophisticated processing and orchestration engine that provides AI-powered productivity capabilities by coordinating the following components: ++- Large language models (LLMs) ++- Content in Microsoft Graph, such as emails, chats, and documents that you have permission to access. ++- The Microsoft 365 apps that you use every day, such as Word and PowerPoint. ++Microsoft 365 apps (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and Loop) operate with Copilot to support users in the context of their work. Some of these features are detailed in the following table: ++| **Microsoft 365 App** | **Feature** | **Description** | +|--|--|| +| Word | Draft with Copilot | Generate text with and without formatting in new or existing documents | +| | Chat | Create content, summarize, ask questions about your document, and do light commanding via Chat. | +| PowerPoint | Draft with Copilot | Create from Prompt or File, leveraging enterprise templates. Integration with DALL-E, OpenAI’s image generator, also allows users to ask Copilot to create custom images. | +| | Chat | Summary, Q&A, ChatGPT integration. | +| | Light commanding | Add slides, pictures, or make deck-wide text changes. | +| Loop | Collaborative content creation | Create content that can be collaboratively improved through direct editing or refinement by Copilot. | +| Outlook | Coaching tips | Get coaching tips and suggestions on clarity, sentiment, and tone, along with an overall message assessment and suggestions for improvement. | +| | Summarize | Summarize an email thread to help the user quickly understand the discussion. It can draft and suggest replies to email. | +| | Leverage content | Pull from other emails or content across Microsoft 365 that user already has access to. | +| Teams | Chat | Users can invoke Copilot in any chat. Copilot can summarize up to 30 days of the chat content prior to the last message in a given chat. Copilot uses only the single chat thread as source content for responses and can't reference other chats or data types (for example, meeting transcripts, emails, and files). Users can interact with Copilot by selecting prewritten prompts or writing their own questions. Responses include clickable citations that direct users to the relevant source content that was used. Conversations with Copilot take place in a side panel that allows users to copy and paste. Copilot conversations are ephemeral and will disappear after the side panel is closed. | +| | Meetings | Users can invoke Copilot in meetings or calls within the same tenant. Copilot will use the transcript in real-time to answer questions from the user. It only uses the transcript and knows the name of the user typing the question. The user can type any question or use pre-determined prompts; however, Copilot will only answer questions related to the meeting conversation from the transcript. The user can copy/paste an answer and access Copilot after the meeting ends on the Recap page. Copilot interaction history with the user is kept for 24 hrs. | +| | Business Chat | Allows users to access data across their Microsoft 365 Graph and leverage LLM functionality. Business chat can be accessed in Teams and when signed-in to Bing with an active directory account. | +| | Whiteboard | Makes meetings and brainstorm sessions more creative and effective. Use natural language to ask Copilot to generate ideas, organize ideas into themes, create designs that bring ideas to life and summarize whiteboard content. | +| OneNote | Draft with Copilot | Use prompts to draft plans, generate ideas, create lists, and organize information to help you easily find what you need. | ++To learn more about what's possible with Microsoft 365 Apps and Copilot, check out [Microsoft 365 AI help and learning](https://support.microsoft.com/copilot). ++## How does Microsoft 365 Copilot work? ++Microsoft 365 Copilot capabilities that users see in Microsoft 365 Apps and other surfaces appear as intelligent features, functionality, and prompting capability. Our foundation LLMs and proprietary Microsoft technologies work together in an underlying system that helps you securely access, use, and manage your organizational data. ++- **Microsoft 365 Apps** (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and Loop) operate with Microsoft 365 Copilot to support users in the context of their work. For example, Copilot in Word is designed to assist users specifically in the process of creating, understanding, and editing documents. In a similar way, Copilot in the other apps helps users in the context of their work within those apps. ++- **Chat** enables Microsoft 365 Copilot users to leverage cross-app intelligence, simplifying their workflow across multiple apps. Chat uses the power of the foundation LLMs, a user's organizational data, and a user's apps to generate a response. Chat is available in a range of experiences, including Teams (chat), Bing, Microsoft Edge, and the Microsoft 365 app. ++- **Microsoft Graph** has long been fundamental to Microsoft 365. It includes information about the relationships between users, activities, and your organization’s data. The Microsoft Graph API brings more context from customer signals into the prompt, such as information from emails, chats, documents, and meetings. For more information, see [Overview of Microsoft Graph](/graph/overview) and [Major services and features in Microsoft Graph](/graph/overview-major-services). ++- **Semantic Index** for Copilot uses multiple LLMs that sit on top of Microsoft Graph to interpret user queries and produce sophisticated, meaningful, and multilingual responses that help you to be more productive. It allows you to search quickly through billions of vectors (mathematical representations of features or attributes) to help connect you with relevant and actionable information in your organization. For more information on Semantic Index for Copilot, [review this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtsVRCsdvoU). ++The following diagram provides a visual representation of how Microsoft 365 Copilot works. +++Here's an explanation of how Microsoft 365 Copilot works: ++- Copilot receives an input prompt from a user in an app, such as Word or PowerPoint. ++- Copilot then pre-processes the input prompt through an approach called grounding, which improves the specificity of the prompt, to help you get answers that are relevant and actionable to your specific task. The prompt can include text from input files or other content discovered by Copilot, and Copilot sends this prompt to the LLM for processing. Copilot only accesses data that an individual user has existing access to, based on, for example, existing Microsoft 365 role-based access controls. ++- Copilot takes the response from the LLM and post-processes it. This post-processing includes other grounding calls to Microsoft Graph, responsible AI checks, security, compliance and privacy reviews, and command generation. ++- Copilot returns the response to the app, where the user can review and assess the response. ++Microsoft 365 Copilot iteratively processes and orchestrates these sophisticated services to help produce results that are relevant to your organization because they're contextually based on your organizational data. ++## Semantic Index ++The Semantic Index for Copilot is a separate index or map of your user and company data—identifying relationships and connections. It works with Copilot and the Microsoft Graph to create a sophisticated map of all data and content in your organization to enable Microsoft 365 Copilot to deliver personalized, relevant, and actionable responses. The Semantic Index is part of the Microsoft 365 service and is created automatically. Although you can’t disable the index, you can exclude files and folders from it. ++ +For example, when you ask it about the “Q2 Sales Report,” it doesn’t simply look for documents with those words in the file name or body. Instead, it understands that “sales reports are produced by Vittorio on the finance team and created in Excel.” And it uses that conceptual understanding to determine your intent to help you find what you need. ++As illustrated below, the Semantic Index for Copilot is critical to getting relevant, actionable responses to prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot (and it enhances enterprise search results users – whether or not they use Copilot). +++Microsoft 365, the Microsoft Graph, and the Semantic Index for Copilot enable an unprecedented expressiveness for search, chat, and Copilots leveraging Microsoft 365 data. This expressiveness is foundational to surface the right grounding data to get the most out of Microsoft 365 Copilot with your organizational data.
