Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, and insurance is no exception. With Microsoft Copilot, insurance agencies have a powerful tool to streamline daily tasks, improve client interactions, and boost productivity—all while staying secure. But what exactly is Microsoft Copilot, and how can insurance agencies use it to their advantage?
What is Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant integrated into Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. It helps users by automating repetitive tasks, generating content, summarizing emails, analyzing data, and providing intelligent recommendations—all within the apps insurance agencies already use daily.
For agencies that rely on Microsoft 365, Copilot serves as a built-in AI assistant, making work more efficient without the need for new software.
