If your team is already on any of the Microsoft 365 programs like Word, Outlook, Teams, Excel or PowerPoint, then you stand to benefit from Microsoft Copilot. Think of the latter as a digital helper that leverages natural language to streamline your development 12ortless. In this blog, we’ll explore how to seamlessly integrate Copilot into your development workflow and take full advantage of all of its features. Consider this a high-level overview of the entire process from installation to customization and collaboration with the aim of equipping you with practical tips on how best to leverage Copilot’s capabilities to maximize its benefits within your coding ecosystem.
Understanding Microsoft Copilot
The starting point to harnessing the full potential of Microsoft Copilot is understanding its features. Right off, it’s best to reiterate what Microsoft Copilot is. Put simply, Microsoft Copilot is a tool that integrates the capabilities that you’d find in large language models with Microsoft 365 apps and business data.
Given this simplistic definition, chances are you are wondering why then you shouldn’t simply integrate ChatGPT into Microsoft 365. The most straightforward answer is that Copilot brings into play the ‘Copilot System’. The latter integrates Microsoft 365 apps with GPT-4 technology and Microsoft Graph. What this means is that when you input a question into the chatbot’s Word field, your input is first analyzed and interpreted using Microsoft Graph before it is sent into the ChatGPT language model. Once ChatGPT has a solution, it isn’t automatically displayed on the app. Instead, ChatGPT sends it back to Microsoft Graph for validation, security and compliance verifications. Note that Microsoft has made it such that the most recent version of their software automatically synchronizes with your calendar, emails, chats, contacts, meetings, and documents. This means that as a user, you can easily and seamlessly respond or create correspondence with others within your code environment.
