Generative (Text and Image)
Copilot is a Microsoft generative AI service. Copilot AI services have four distinct versions: Copilot (Personal), Copilot (Enterprise), Copilot for Microsoft 365, and Copilot Studio. Copilot also has the ability to generate images based on text prompts. Under BYU's Microsoft A3 licensing, the university has access to Copilot Enterprise, but does not currently have access to Copilot for Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI Studio. Evaluations are being conducted on these additional services.
