With Copilot for OneDrive, users can generate summaries of large documents. You can ask AI to summarize a single document or a bunch—it can handle up to five documents at once. Also, Copilot for OneDrive can compare differences between multiple documents. Again, you can compare up to five files at once and get highlighted differences in an easy-to-read table (there is even no need to open the compared files).
Another great feature of Copilot for OneDrive is the ability to answer complex questions about stored files and generate ideas for new documents based on what is stored in your OneDrive.
If you have a commercial Copilot license, you can select a file in OneDrive for the web and click the Copilot button to choose the action you want or ask a question about the files.

There is also a dedicated FAQ page where Microsoft answers popular questions about its AI companion in OneDrive.
