What is Copilot Chat?

Copilot Chat works in a similar way to other AI companions like ChatGPT and Gemini, and staff and students have access to it using your University Microsoft 365 account.  

Copilot Chat is now fully integrated within your other Microsoft 365 apps like email, and Teams, just look for the little icon. When you access it from within your teams or Outlook, you will already be signed in and Copilot Chat will know who you are.  

You will notice that the there is a green shield, that signifies your data is private and protected. Similar to using any other Microsoft 365 applications.
