Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to be helpful by using work context—for example, the files you have access to, recent activity, meetings, emails, and SharePoint/OneDrive content—to suggest relevant prompts and help you start tasks faster. It also uses this context to augment your prompt before it is sent to the LLM. This is the grounding approach (often described as retrieval-augmented generation): Copilot retrieves relevant organizational content you’re permitted to access and adds it as supporting context so responses are accurate and business-relevant. However, Microsoft 365 Copilot does not use your organization’s contextual data to train the underlying foundation model. That separation is critical for enterprise privacy and compliance: your prompts, responses, and tenant data are used to generate the answer for your session and permissions, but are not used to improve or retrain the base LLM. This approach supports responsible AI, protects confidential business information, and ensures outputs respect access controls.
