You have probably heard about artificial intelligence (AI), and you know it represents the future of computing. AI is making its way across various industries, software, and devices. Want to learn more? Microsoft will be running Live Events at select Best Buy stores as well as online to teach customers all about AI and Microsoft Copilot for Windows.

What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is the company’s AI assistant. It’s available on the latest Windows computers, but you can access Copilot on other devices as well, like Apple MacBooks, through a Microsoft 365 account. Integrated with Microsoft 365, Copilot combines large language models (LLMs) with data to help you become more productive and creative across various Microsoft apps. Along with accessing Copilot through a web browser, some of the latest Windows 11 computers also have a dedicated Microsoft Copilot button to launch the AI assistant at the touch of a button.

How can you use Copilot?

You can use Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and other programs to help you do things like summarize meeting notes, analyze spreadsheets, get help with composing an e-mail, create compelling slideshow presentations, and more.

You can also use Copilot to answer queries in the same conversational manner you would with a human, which is a technological leap over a traditional, more robotic search engine or voice assistant. AI can understand context not just keyword-based commands. Copilot can even generate images for you and help you easily change settings on your computer with a few simple, natural language commands.

Before you can enjoy everything Copilot has to offer, you first need to know how to use it. No worries. Microsoft Live Events are interactive workshops that don’t just tell you about Copilot, they also show you how it works and how you can leverage the AI assistant in your everyday work and personal lives.
