Microsoft 365 Copilot – An AI Layer Across Your Suite 🧠📂

Microsoft 365 Copilot brings an AI assistant into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more, powered by your organization’s own data. It can summarize threads, draft documents, analyze spreadsheets, create presentations, and answer natural‑language questions using content from across your files and apps.

Teams use Copilot to turn scattered work artifacts into a coherent narrative and plan. With features like Work IQ and agents, it doesn’t just respond to prompts—it proactively surfaces insights, next steps, and automations tailored to how your company actually works.

Copilot Studio & Agents – Design Your Own Workbots 🤖⚙️

Copilot Studio lets you build and customize AI agents that automate specific workflows, from HR intake bots to finance helpers or project trackers. You can start from templates, wire in business data and APIs, and ship agents that answer questions, trigger processes, and handle repetitive tasks at scale.

Organizations adopt Copilot Studio to bring “agentic AI” into their existing Microsoft stack without reinventing their infrastructure. Instead of one generic assistant, they get a set of specialized bots tuned to their policies, systems, and terminology—each one quietly removing manual steps from daily work.

Remio – Second‑Brain AI for Your Own Knowledge 🧩🧠

Remio acts as a personal AI “second brain” that saves, organizes, and lets you query your own learning and notes. You can capture articles, ideas, and highlights; over time, Remio turns them into a searchable knowledge system that can answer questions and generate summaries using only what you have stored.

Knowledge workers and lifelong learners use Remio to avoid losing insights in endless bookmarks or generic chats. With daily summaries and fast retrieval grounded in your own material, it becomes a trusted companion for recall, writing, and decision‑making.
