Microsoft's AI assistant, grounded in Bing search and embedded across Windows, Edge and Microsoft 365.
Copilot answers questions by combining a large language model with live Bing retrieval, returning cited sources much like other grounded engines. Because it draws on the Bing index, visibility in Copilot is closely tied to Bing crawlability and ranking, which differ subtly from Google's. Its distribution across Windows and Office makes it a significant channel for reaching professional and enterprise audiences at the point of work.
