Copilot - a new way to search

Get answers, not links. We're used to searching the internet with keywords and getting pages of links.

Now, we can chat in conversational language to get detailed, customized answers from the internet.

We can ask for

:
  • Summaries

  • Analyses

  • Tables

  • Content

  • Images

    summaries, analysis, tables, content, and images.

    AI chat enables us to uncover insights that link various data points, providing fresh perspectives that may not have been documented previously. This capability

    is what

    distinguishes AI chat as "generative AI"—it generates responses rather than merely directing users to existing links.

    Chat is the new way to "internet". Simply put, AI-powered chat gives you custom answers

    Get Started with Copilot

    Copilot can be accessed in five places: bing.com/chat, Microsoft Edge sidebar, Microsoft app on mobile, Windows, and Copilot.Microsoft.com

    Prompts

    Prompts and how to use them effectively

    A prompt is

    the

    a question or instruction you enter in the text box

    . This is what Copilot will

    for Copilot to respond to. Use natural language

    . Don't feel like you need to break your idea or question down into keywords

    ; keywords aren't necessary.

    Classic search is about keywords to get a list of sources. Chat is about using detailed questions or statements to generate a custom response for you.

    Copilot's Short-term Memory

    To keep your University data private, Copilot does NOT save chat history.

    You will lose the chat if you:

    • Select the "new topic" button

    • Close the browser window

    • Leave the chat open for hours

    Copilot will

    also

    forget any PDFs or webpages you open in the Edge browser.

    Please save your chat content as needed!

    Note: Your answers may vary from session to session.
