Microsoft 365 Copilot: AI Built for Work
Curious how AI can fit into the work your nonprofit already does every day? This video shows how Copilot brings Work IQ, agents, and AI-powered experiences together across documents, spreadsheets, meetings, presentations, and email. Watch the video to see how Copilot helps your people move faster.
What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant built specifically for work. It’s integrated into the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day—like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams—so you can move faster across documents, spreadsheets, meetings, presentations, email, and more.
Copilot combines three key elements:
- Work IQ – an understanding of how work gets done in your organization.
- Agents – AI helpers that can take actions on your behalf, not just answer questions.
- AI-powered experiences – features embedded directly in your everyday apps to help you turn intent into action.
Instead of switching tools or starting from a blank page, you describe what you want to achieve, and Copilot helps you get there inside the tools you already know.
How does Copilot use our organizational data?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is grounded in your organizational data, which means it can work with the content and context you already have in Microsoft 365—such as documents, emails, calendars, chats, and presentations.
Because it understands work in context, Copilot can:
- Summarize long email threads and highlight what needs your attention.
- Draft documents or presentations based on existing files and meeting notes.
- Help analyze information in spreadsheets using the data you already store in Microsoft 365.
This context-aware approach helps Copilot reimagine how you interact with your information, so you spend less time searching and more time acting on what matters.
How can Copilot improve day-to-day productivity?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to help you turn intent into action across your daily tasks. Some practical ways it can support productivity include:
- Documents: Draft, edit, or summarize content in Word so you can move from idea to first draft more quickly.
- Spreadsheets: Explore and interpret data in Excel, helping you spot trends or create summaries faster.
- Meetings: Capture key points, decisions, and action items from meetings in Teams so you don’t have to rely on manual note-taking.
- Presentations: Turn written content into structured slides in PowerPoint, helping you reimagine how you build decks.
- Email: Summarize long threads and draft responses in Outlook to reduce time spent managing your inbox.
By embedding AI directly into the tools you already use, Copilot helps you reduce repetitive work and focus more on higher-value tasks.
