Copilot for the Web is Microsoft's generative AI tool that allows you to interact with it via a text interface. This tool can assist you with summarizing content, analyzing data, and so much more. Best of all, it allows you to leverage ChatGPT while being protected by the University's data security agreements with Microsoft, as long as you're logged in with your PennO365 account.
The article details how to log into Copilot for the Web with your PennO365 account and how to check that your Copilot for the Web session is protected.
