So many versions of Copilot are available, and they have been released in less than a year. It isn’t easy to know where to begin and how to get started. For beginners, we recommend understanding some of the Copilot products to focus your efforts on the area that will work best for you.
Why Does It Matter to Know About Copilot?
Copilot is Microsoft’s equivalent to ChatGPT. It allows you to use everyday language to communicate with an artificial intelligence neural network, which uses its learning from the internet and other sources to generate probabilistic responses that help us get things done. If you are not familiar with AI, we recommend you look at Kathy Durfee’s LinkedIn article or drop into one of our office hours to talk with us.
