Microsoft Copilot

Duke offers two versions of Microsoft Copilot:

Copilot (free with NetID login)

An AI chatbot, Microsoft Copilot uses internet data to answer questions and support your work to help boost productivity, spark creativity, and change the way you get things done. Copilot is powerful, built on Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-5, or advanced tools designed to predict and generate text based on your internal uploaded data (emails, reports, presentations, articles, etc.). Secure and available at no cost to all members of the Duke community with a NetID login. 

Copilot for Microsoft 365 (paid add-on)

Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a paid service designed to enhance the way you work within the Microsoft 365 suite. It integrates with Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more, using large language models to assist with tasks such as understanding, summarizing, predicting, recalling, translating, and generating content. Copilot for Microsoft 365 is available for purchase for all Duke faculty and staff.
