Northwestern's AI Access - Microsoft's Copilot Chatbot

Copilot, Microsoft’s large language model chatbot, is now available to all Northwestern students, faculty, and staff. The AI-powered chatbot is integrated into the Bing search engine and designed to understand complex and natural language queries. The result is summarized responses drawn from across the web, including links to resources. Users can safely use the tool knowing that data is stored securely in Northwestern’s Microsoft tenant, but Microsoft does not use it for product improvement or to train other AI models.

In addition to offering data protection to the University community, Copilot’s primary benefits center around search assistance, content generation, and natural language understanding. Use it to find information quickly on the web, generate reports, identify and create images, develop document frameworks, draft communications, and more. Test out the new Chatbot here.
