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

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.

How to chat in 3 steps
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 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.
