Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is AI built for work, turning data into insights in the apps users already know. It is powered by Work IQ, a workplace intelligence layer that connects data, context and tools to deliver intelligence tailored to a user's job and company. Capabilities include Chat and Cowork (securely handing off complex tasks and keeping multiple projects moving), AI-powered enterprise Search, ready-to-use and custom-built Agents (via Copilot Studio), and Notebooks that bring together chats, files, meeting notes and project materials. Copilot inherits a user's Microsoft 365 permissions, sensitivity labels, and retention policies, and prompts, inputs, and responses are never used to train the models.

Miami Dade College boosts student pass rates by 15% with Microsoft 365 Copilot

Miami Dade College deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot among its President's Cabinet and senior leaders, and used Microsoft Copilot Studio to build AI-powered assistants supporting personalized learning, coding exercises, essay structures and math problems around the clock. In the first semester of implementation in STEM and advanced analytics courses, the college saw a 15% increase in student pass rates and a 12% decrease in dropout rates. A survey found 77% of users completed tasks faster, 76% saw improved work quality, and 81% reported increased productivity; if just 15% of MDC's more than 6,000 employees saved 12 minutes a day, that would total nearly 50,000 hours a year. Encouraged by these results, MDC expanded its Copilot deployment by 400 licenses, prioritizing student-facing employees.
