What is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot is your AI companion at UB, powered by GPT-4o, available for all students, faculty, and staff.  Copilot chat is included for free with your UB Microsoft 365 license. 

Microsoft Copilot chat can assist you with writing, image generation, and more. It is UB’s choice for AI chat because it keeps your sensitive data secure. Access Copilot chat by visiting copilot.microsoft.com and sign-in with your UBITName and password. 

UB students: As with all generative AI tools, please check with each instructor about its appropriate use to ensure that you are abiding by UB’s academic integrity policy.
