What is AI copilot?
AI copilot: An AI copilot is an AI assistant built into the software you already use, helping you write, analyse or act inside that application.

AI copilot, explained
Instead of switching to a separate chat window, a copilot works in context: drafting an email in your inbox, suggesting formulas in a spreadsheet, summarising a meeting in your calendar app or writing code in an editor. The person stays in control and accepts, edits or rejects suggestions. Copilots are a common first step for organisations because they fit existing tools and permissions.
Example
A finance analyst asks the spreadsheet's built-in copilot to create a pivot summary of sales by region.
