00:00:00.006 --> 00:00:02.009
- You can use the Copilot chat assistant

2
00:00:02.009 --> 00:00:05.007
by going to copilot.microsoft.com.

3
00:00:05.007 --> 00:00:07.006
And depending on whether you sign in

4
00:00:07.006 --> 00:00:10.000
and what type of account or subscription you have,

5
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.001
you may have different features in that chat assistant.

6
00:00:13.001 --> 00:00:15.006
But this website is not the only place to work

7
00:00:15.006 --> 00:00:17.001
with the chat assistant.

8
00:00:17.001 --> 00:00:19.009
If you use Windows, you can use the Copilot assistant

9
00:00:19.009 --> 00:00:21.009
in the Windows interface.

10
00:00:21.009 --> 00:00:23.008
First, I'll check to see if I'm signed

11
00:00:23.008 --> 00:00:25.005
into a Microsoft account.

12
00:00:25.005 --> 00:00:28.003
To do that, I'll go to Windows settings.

13
00:00:28.003 --> 00:00:32.005
On the left, I'll go to the category for accounts.

14
00:00:32.005 --> 00:00:35.006
And we can see that I use my Microsoft online account

15
00:00:35.006 --> 00:00:38.003
as my sign-in account for Windows.

16
00:00:38.003 --> 00:00:39.009
Now, this is my personal account.

17
00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.006
And of course you could sign in with a business account.

18
00:00:42.006 --> 00:00:45.000
But at the time of this recording, the business account

19
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.005
does not activate any additional features

20
00:00:47.005 --> 00:00:49.005
but that may change in the future.

21
00:00:49.005 --> 00:00:51.007
So I'm signed into an account.

22
00:00:51.007 --> 00:00:54.006
And in the task bar, I see the Copilot icon.

23
00:00:54.006 --> 00:00:56.003
Now, if you don't see that icon,

24
00:00:56.003 --> 00:00:58.005
you should go back to Windows settings,

25
00:00:58.005 --> 00:01:01.005
then go to the Personalization category,

26
00:01:01.005 --> 00:01:04.003
scroll down a bit and go to the subcategory

27
00:01:04.003 --> 00:01:06.009
for the task bar, and make sure

28
00:01:06.009 --> 00:01:09.002
that Copilot is enabled here.

29
00:01:09.002 --> 00:01:11.004
If you don't see that option, make sure you run

30
00:01:11.004 --> 00:01:13.001
all of your Windows updates and the feature

31
00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:15.006
should be added in an update soon.

32
00:01:15.006 --> 00:01:18.000
Once you see the Copilot button in the task bar,

33
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.004
you can click it to open the Copilot assistant.

34
00:01:21.004 --> 00:01:23.005
And from here, you can use the chat field

35
00:01:23.005 --> 00:01:26.005
to type in a question.

36
00:01:26.005 --> 00:01:30.006
I'll type in a question and hit the Return key.

37
00:01:30.006 --> 00:01:32.006
And it gives me that information.

38
00:01:32.006 --> 00:01:34.008
And I could ask follow-up questions

39
00:01:34.008 --> 00:01:37.005
and continue the conversation from here.

40
00:01:37.005 --> 00:01:39.005
Another place you can use the chat assistant

41
00:01:39.005 --> 00:01:42.004
is in the Microsoft Edge web browser.

42
00:01:42.004 --> 00:01:44.001
I'll open up Edge here.

43
00:01:44.001 --> 00:01:47.003
And Edge comes with Windows 11 but you could also install it

44
00:01:47.003 --> 00:01:48.009
on a Mac if you want.

45
00:01:48.009 --> 00:01:50.008
Now, first of course, you should check to see

46
00:01:50.008 --> 00:01:53.004
if you are signed into a Microsoft account.

47
00:01:53.004 --> 00:01:56.003
In Edge, near the top right corner or near the top

48
00:01:56.003 --> 00:01:59.002
left corner, you should see your profile icon.

49
00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:01.006
You should click on that and if you are signed in,

50
00:02:01.006 --> 00:02:03.006
you'll see your account information there.

51
00:02:03.006 --> 00:02:05.007
If not, you can sign in from there.

52
00:02:05.007 --> 00:02:08.002
Once you've confirmed that, in the top right corner

53
00:02:08.002 --> 00:02:10.001
there is a Copilot button.

54
00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:12.004
You can click that to open the Copilot panel

55
00:02:12.004 --> 00:02:15.004
right here in the Edge web browser.

56
00:02:15.004 --> 00:02:17.007
Now, this time, instead of asking a question,

57
00:02:17.007 --> 00:02:21.000
I'll try another thing that AI chat assistants are good at.

58
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.000
I'll ask it to write a draft of some text.

59
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.002
I'll ask it to write a summary of the benefits

60
00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:29.000
of using offshore wind power generators.

61
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.006
I'll hit the Return key and it gives me a draft

62
00:02:31.006 --> 00:02:37.000
of some text based on that request.

63
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.007
Another place you can use the Copilot chat assistant

64
00:02:39.007 --> 00:02:41.004
is in the mobile app.

65
00:02:41.004 --> 00:02:45.006
There is a free app on iPhone and Android called Copilot,

66
00:02:45.006 --> 00:02:47.004
which I have installed here.

67
00:02:47.004 --> 00:02:49.002
So I'll launch the Copilot app.

68
00:02:49.002 --> 00:02:51.005
And first, I'll tap the button in the top left

69
00:02:51.005 --> 00:02:54.002
and confirm that I am signed into an account.

70
00:02:54.002 --> 00:02:56.001
Then I'll close that account tab.

71
00:02:56.001 --> 00:02:58.003
And in the mobile app, you can type your question

72
00:02:58.003 --> 00:02:59.009
in the text field at the bottom

73
00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:01.008
but you can also use your voice.

74
00:03:01.008 --> 00:03:04.008
Just tap the microphone button or tap the keyboard button

75
00:03:04.008 --> 00:03:07.002
to switch between the voice or text prompts.

76
00:03:07.002 --> 00:03:09.005
And this time, I'll ask it to do another thing

77
00:03:09.005 --> 00:03:12.000
that AI chat assistants are great for.

78
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.003
Copilot can use the Dall-E AI image model

79
00:03:15.003 --> 00:03:16.008
to create new pictures.

80
00:03:16.008 --> 00:03:20.004
I'll tap the microphone here and give it my request.

81
00:03:20.004 --> 00:03:22.004
Generate a picture of a condor

82
00:03:22.004 --> 00:03:29.000
flying over a field of sunflowers.

83
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.001
It takes some time but now I have some options.

84
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:35.004
Just remember conversations, answers to your questions,

85
00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:39.000
drafts of text, and picture generation all will work

86
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.007
no matter where you use the Copilot chat assistant.

87
00:03:41.007 --> 00:03:44.005
And I encourage you to look for the Copilot icon

88
00:03:44.005 --> 00:03:46.009
in other tools and applications.

89
00:03:46.009 --> 00:03:50.007
Copilot is updated and changes constantly, so by the time

90
00:03:50.007 --> 00:03:53.000
you're watching this there may be even more ways

91
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.001
to access the Copilot chat assistant.
