Copilot Chat vsus. Microsoft 365 Copilot What's the difference?
- Feb 19, 2025
This is an amazing article, thank for sharing.
Hello, cordial greetings I have a big question, according to the gif, are the core of the two versions of copilot the same (GPT-4o)?
I say this because the responses in the Copilot chat version are very poor, and even though one mentions this and asks for a more structured response, the changes are minimal, it returns almost the same answer. When analyzing PDF documents, it is not able to obtain all the text, in a basic prompt such as "Check the following document in French and tell me if there is any text that is not in French", Sometimes it returns some words, sometimes others, and sometimes it just says everything is fine, even though the document has words in a different language. And all this happens in the general chat, because if we go to the agents that today allow us to create the Copilot Chat version, it is even worse, I have performed many tests, configured the same prompt, and the agent's behavior is simply worse than the general chat.
I was really hoping that getting an MS365 copilot license would improve things, but I'm disappointed to learn that it doesn't.
Hello YulianD​ , Thanks for enriching this post with your experience, concerns, and thoughts.
Answering your question: Yes, Copilot Chat and M365 Copilot use currently GPT-4o.
Giving you an advice: To obtain all french text, I would try to prompt like this instead "Extract all french text in this document". Maybe even better "Extract and list one by one all french text in this document".
There is another blog post about prompting you could take a look to: Quick fixes to boost your Copilot responses​

Alas you have responded but not answered his question. His query was the exact opposite to your suggestion. He wants non French text. Unless I misread it.
Personally I would feed his question into copilot chat and ask copilot to suggest a suitable promt to tackle his dilemma.
