# Microsoft 365 Copilot

## Overview

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant embedded across the Microsoft 365 suite — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, and more. Employees use it to draft content, summarize meetings, query organizational data, and automate tasks across their daily workflows.

The Akto M365 Copilot connector automatically:

* Discovers all Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions across your organization
* Monitors user prompts, responses, and the resources Copilot accessed
* Sends activity data to Akto for security analysis and guardrail enforcement

## How It Works

Microsoft 365 Copilot activity is automatically logged in **Microsoft Purview eDiscovery**. Akto polls M365 directly at regular intervals, forwards the data to Akto's Data Ingestion Service, and surfaces findings in your dashboard.

**Async mode** — Akto reads Copilot audit events after the fact. Events typically appear within 1 hour of the interaction occurring in Microsoft 365.
