Apprenez avec Vertech AcademyLearn how to use Copilot to parse long PDFs, draft emails, and verify claims with live web access.
"my group project drafts went from rough to polished super fast" — Chris, Marketing
Most people ignore Microsoft Copilot because it feels like just another corporate add-on. But if your university forces you to use Office 365, or if you're on a Windows machine, knowing how to leverage Copilot actually saves a lot of context-switching.
This guide skips the enterprise jargon and looks at what Copilot is actually good for. We cover how to use it directly inside the Edge browser to read and pull data from massive, heavily-formatted PDFs without the file-size limits you hit on free ChatGPT.
Because Copilot defaults to searching the live web via Bing, we also focus heavily on web grounding—forcing the model to cite specific URLs and verify claims so you don't end up submitting hallucinated facts in your assignments.
Why use Copilot over ChatGPT?
Access and ecosystem. Copilot gives you GPT-4 capabilities and live internet access for free. More importantly, it can read whatever tab you currently have open in Edge, which is invaluable for quickly parsing dense academic journals.
We'll show you the exact workflows to pull key arguments out of dense documents and format them into usable study material. It's a pragmatic look at using Microsoft's toolset to get your reading and research done faster, without paying for a premium AI subscription.
