What exactly is Microsoft 365? Can it fully replace the traditional Office suite? The answer lies in both Yes and No.

Microsoft 365 provides users with access to these applications and services across multiple devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones, allowing for seamless collaboration and productivity from anywhere.

Microsoft Copilot (formerly Bing Chat Enterprise) is a web-based AI chat service that utilizes generative AI to answer your questions and assist you in completing tasks.

One key distinction between ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot is that Microsoft prioritizes the protection of your business data and ensures that the data you share with Copilot will not be used to train the AI (unlike ChatGPT).

To learn more about the differences, you can read another blog: “ChatGPT vs Microsoft Copilot: What is the difference?

Microsoft Copilot is now widely available for users of Microsoft 365 E3, E5, F3, A3, or A5 (for faculty), Business Premium, and Business Standard. To access Microsoft Copilot, simply visit bing.com using Microsoft Edge as your browser and select the “Chat” tab.

It is true that AI technologies are revolutionizing the way we do tasks daily. ChatGPT is indeed a hot topic that everyone is talking about since last year. Recently, Microsoft Copilot has also been making waves in the AI world.

While both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot are AI technologies that were developed to help users do tasks and activities faster and more efficiently, there are significant differences between the two. In this article, we will explain how these tools are powered by AI and what role they can play to help you in maximizing your time, creativity, and productivity. Let’s dive in!

 

ChatGPT: Your Conversational AI Companion

ChatGPT is a natural language processing technology developed by OpenAI. Powered by machine learning, deep learning, natural language understanding, and generation, ChatGPT excels at answering questions and engaging in conversations.

Trained on vast amounts of human language data from the internet, ChatGPT’s conversational abilities mirror those of a human interlocutor. Functioning as a chatbot, ChatGPT predicting the next word based on learned language patterns, it tailors its answers to your queries. Unlike a search engine, ChatGPT does not have the ability to search the internet and may not have the most up-to-date information to draw from.

Microsoft Copilot: Your Personalized Digital Assistant

Copilot is a digital assistant that helps you be more productive at work. There are two main versions of Copilot: Copilot in Windows and Microsoft 365 Copilot .

Copilot in Windows is a built-in version of the AI-powered Bing Chat that help you with tasks like searching the web, creating content, learning new topics, and more. The most important thing is that your chat data is not used to train the large language models used by AI. Unlike ChatGPT, your business data is being protected.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

On the other hand, Microsoft 365 Copilot is an advance version of Copilot that fully integrates into Microsoft 365 applications. It leverages the power of large language models (LLMs) and data from the Microsoft Graph, including your calendar, emails, chats, documents, and meetings. Copilot is embedded within everyday Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, and works alongside you to unleash your creativity, unlock productivity, and enhance your skills. By analyzing your data and collaborating with you, Copilot offers tailored suggestions, streamlines workflows, and helps you achieve more in less time.

To sum up, ChatGPT is designed for general content creation, while Microsoft Copilot focuses on productivity and aid within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. While both ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot use large language model technology and machine learning to respond to natural human input, Microsoft Copilot is more secured as your business data will not be leaking out. It is also more effective at contextualizing and personalizing responses, thanks to its integration with the Microsoft Graph and your Microsoft 365 data.
