Introduction
You're curious and excited about what AI can do at work—but you want a simple, low-risk way to get started. Microsoft Copilot Chat is the place to start! It gives you a secure, enterprise-ready way to practice prompting, explore ideas, and generate content using web-based information. It's the core Copilot experience every Microsoft 365 user shares, and the skills you build here carry over everywhere else you use Copilot.
In this module, you explore how Copilot Chat serves as an AI assistant designed to streamline work and boost productivity. You gain an understanding of its purpose and how it delivers AI-powered chat through web-based insights. You discover how Copilot Memory can save your preferences— like tone or format— so Copilot responds consistently without you needing to repeat yourself every time. You learn how to access Chat across various platforms such as on the web, apps, and Microsoft Edge. You become familiar with the chat interface and learn how to engage with it through natural language all within a protected and intuitive environment.
