# Copilot Chat

What it is, where it is, what it can see, what it cannot.

7 screens, about three minutes. Pictures, almost no words.

## You already have this one.

*Picture: One large box labelled Copilot Chat.*

It arrives with Microsoft 365.

## A very well-read stranger.

*Picture: A person labelled it, drawn beside a very large box labelled the web.*

It has read a great deal, none of it yours.

## It cannot see your files.

*Picture: A dashed frame labelled your work holding three documents, with a dashed line to the box labelled it, marked cannot.*

Not your email, meetings or chats.

## Unless you hand it one.

*Picture: A box labelled a file with an amber arrow into the box labelled it.*

Upload a file and it reads that file, once.

## Signed in, it is protected.

*Picture: A dashed frame labelled protected holding a green box labelled what you type.*

Unlike the free one you use at home.

## Do today

Open Copilot Chat, ask it to explain a word you met at work this week, and see how far it gets.
