• Microsoft 365 Copilot uses data from Microsoft Graph, the Microsoft 365 apps, and web to personalize use cases. Features include writing an email, creating a presentation based on a document, and summarizing meeting.
• The AI assistant currently supports multiple languages including English (US, GB, AU, CA, IN), Spanish (ES, MX), Japanese, French (FR, CA), German, Portuguese (BR), Italian, and Chinese Simplified. Plans are in place to add support for additional languages in the first half of 2024.
