Microsoft Copilot

Copilot, Microsoft Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant, built into Windows, Edge, Bing and Microsoft 365, that answers questions with an OpenAI model grounded in Bing search results and cites the pages it used.

Copilot reaches people where they already work: the Windows taskbar, the Edge sidebar, Bing and Office apps. When someone asks it for the best business near them, it searches Bing, reads the results and writes a short answer with links.

Because its answers are built from Bing results, the basics that help you on Bing carry over: a claimed Bing Places listing, consistent facts across directories, and pages that state plainly what you do and where. MentionedOn checks Copilot with an Azure OpenAI model grounded with Bing Search, the same pairing Copilot runs on, alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
