Unified Copilot Chat with a Work IQ Toggle

Web chat and work chat merge into one interface, with a Work IQ button in the top left that turns access to work data on or off.

  • Separate web and work chat tabs are replaced by a single chat surface, so there is no longer a wrong tab to land in
  • The Work IQ button sits in the top left of the chat interface and is on by default, meaning work data is used unless you switch it off
  • Available on Windows and Web

Best for

Switching between a public-web answer and a work-grounded answer without changing tabs.

When to use it

You keep landing in the wrong chat and getting an answer with the wrong sources behind it.

Who benefits

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat users who move between general questions and work-grounded ones all day.
