What is Copilot and How Does It Work?
- Microsoft Copilot Chat is a chatbot developed by Microsoft, which uses a large language model to generate responses to user input.
- The chatbot is based on Microsoft's Azure Bot Service, which allows developers to create intelligent bots that can interact with users through natural language processing.
- Like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot uses a large language model trained on massive amounts of data to predict the most likely next word or sequence of words in a given sentence based on its training data and information found by searching the internet.
- Microsoft Copilot differs from ChatGPT-3.5 (the free version) because it has the ability to access current information by searching the internet when it cannot answer a question from its training data.
The process of searching the internet involves several steps:
- The chatbot analyzes the user's input to identify relevant keywords and phrases.
- It then formulates a search query using these keywords and searches the internet.
- The search engine returns a list of results, which the chatbot analyzes and selects the most relevant one to present to the user.
- The chatbot can also extract specific pieces of information from the search results, such as addresses, phone numbers, or reviews, and present them to the user in a structured format.
