AI for staff: Copilot Chat
With Copilot Chat, you can use natural language to get help with various tasks, such as generating text and images, analysing data, summarising documents, writing code, and more. All KI staff have access to Copilot Chat.
The umbrella term for all of this is generative AI, and on this page, we provide examples of uses and resources where you can learn more and clarify what the different variants of Copilot mean right now.
What is Copilot Chat?
Copilot Chat is an AI-powered chat tool that helps you with everything from answering questions to performing specific tasks. It can act as a daily assistant for writing and summarising text, analysing data, doing simple translations and more.
This feature is accessible to all KI employees logging in to Microsoft 365. If you use the Microsoft Edge browser, the service is embedded directly in the browser as a separate sidebar where you can access the chat. If you go to microsoft365.com/chat, you can access all the available features in the web interface from any browser.
Students have access
Students can also log in with their KI ID and access Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in the same way as employees.
What information can I use in Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot, used while logged in to KI’s approved Microsoft 365 environment, is the first choice for AI in day-to-day work. When you use the service with your KI account, it is covered by KI’s agreement with Microsoft, which includes contractual terms covering information security, personal data processing and data storage, among other things.
When you are logged in to KI’s instance of Microsoft 365, you will see a ticked shield. This means that no data leaves KI’s environment, and you can work with all types of information, including sensitive personal data and research data.
You can click the shield to read more about how data processed in the service is protected.
What is the difference between Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot?
This is a little confusing: Copilot Chat, the chat tool that all staff can access, does not automatically have access to your work files and data stored in the Microsoft cloud – this requires the additional Microsoft 365 Copilot licence.
Copilot Chat can work with information that you give it yourself, such as text you type or files you upload. Microsoft 365 Copilot can also find and use information in Microsoft 365 that you already have access to, such as email and Teams, as well as files in OneDrive and SharePoint.
Microsoft 365 Copilot has an additional licence cost of SEK 175 per month, and the licence is personal. Learn more on how to get started by ordering Microsoft 365 Copilot.
