Today, we are rolling out a new Copilot feature named Help me create to the Microsoft 365 web app. Help me create lets you focus more on what to write, with the Microsoft 365 app and Copilot suggests the best format for your content.
With Help me create, you don't have to worry about choosing the right app. Whether you need to write a paper, a presentation, a list, or an icebreaker quiz, you can simply tell Help me create what you want to work on, and it will suggest the best app for you and give you a boost with Copilot powered generative AI suggestions. Like Copilot, Help me create is built on Microsoft's comprehensive approach to security, compliance, and privacy.
Here's how it works and how Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 users can try it out today:
- Open the Microsoft 365 web app (https://microsoft365.com) and sign in with your Copilot for Microsoft 365 enabled account.
