Copilot Chat can be invoked in the web version, the desktop Copilot application, and within Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Work IQ is the agent version of Microsoft Office applications (including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Word, and others), giving agents access to collaborative content such as email inboxes and Teams chat records.
Formats such as Word, HTML, and PDF hide formatting inside the file; when AI reads them, it must strip redundant data, which consumes more tokens and increases costs.
In recent years, Microsoft has continuously embedded Copilot across its full product line, including Word, Excel, and Teams.
