How can I access Copilot with my Tufts account?

Tufts users can log into Microsoft's generative AI, Copilot, with their Tufts credentials as shown below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: AIs are new and experimental technology. Even AIs which claim to be secure may have security vulnerabilities which have not yet been discovered or addressed.

Before you use AI for teaching read: Tufts Guidelines for Use of Generative AI Tools

Visit the Copilot webpage and click "Sign in"

Go to: https://copilot.microsoft.com/

In the "Sign in" window type in your Tufts email address and click "Next"

Enter your Tufts username and password and click "Sign in"

You'll see the Copilot homepage

Copilot will respond ongoing to conversational text, comments, questions, etc. which you type in the chat box.

During you conversation you can ask Copilot to:

  • Brainstorm ideas for names, outings, projects, and other low-stakes activities
  • Refine or rephrase text
  • Proof-read, summarize, shorten, or lengthen text
  • Look up information and cite sources which include links
  • Role-play a character for a case study, or a fiction project

Continue the conversation beyond Copilot's initial response by continuing to type in the chat box.

Experiment with conversation styles and details to learn what kinds of content they generate. Remember that Copilot's content may be inaccurate, false, or biased. Be prepared to fact-check and vet.
