Getting to know Microsoft Copilot

- What is Copilot? As the popularity of artificial intelligence exploded over the last year, Microsoft rolled out several AI tools under the general brand name Copilot, and Copilot is most often seen as an AI chat assistant, but there are also specialized tools that can be used inside of applications like Microsoft Word or Teams or Excel. Some Copilot features require a paid subscription and some can be used for free, and everything was developed and released so quickly that suddenly there are several different products that all share the same name, which can lead to some confusion. I'm Nick Brazzi, and in this short workshop, I'll help you decide whether you need to pay for a subscription to get what you need or whether you'll be happy using Copilot for free without a subscription. And once we understand the subscription tiers, we'll identify the main Copilot products and get an overview of how they're used in different applications and online tools. This will make it easier for you to start working with Copilot, and it will help you when you jump into some of our other Copilot training courses.
