Remember Clippy, the annoying paperclip assistant in MS Office? Decades ago, online assistants like Clippy were simple automation tools with limited capabilities. But with the rise of new technologies, AI adoption in business has accelerated, with a new wave of intelligent systems called “copilots” emerging as powerful productivity tools.
These AI-powered copilots are not your average paper-pushing assistants. Unlike Clippy, copilots integrate seamlessly into existing systems, leveraging massive knowledge bases and advanced natural language processing to deliver helpful, human-like assistance. Whether it's answering HR questions, resolving IT tickets, or even writing personalized outreach emails, these digital sidekicks promise to transform how work is done.
That said — and given that copilots are still new on the scene — there are still a lot of open questions, including what can they actually do?
In this blog, we’ll cover real-world copilot use cases across the enterprise and the benefits they can provide by driving innovation and ROI. Specifically, you’ll learn:
- What copilots are, and how they work
- How copilots increase productivity, efficiency, and tech stack ROI
- High-value use cases in IT, HR, finance, facilities and more
- Challenges to consider
- Where copilots are heading next
This is to say that the days of Clippy are long gone. Join us as we explore this rapid evolution in AI and see how leaders are putting copilots to work across their organizations.
What can you use a copilot for?
An AI copilot is a conversational interface that uses large language models (LLMs) to support users in various tasks and decision-making processes across multiple domains within an enterprise environment. By leveraging LLMs, AI copilots possess the capability to understand, analyze, and process vast amounts of data.
AI copilots are most valuably used to:
- Provide proactive, context-aware assistance: AI copilots can proactively respond to user needs based on contextual information, ensuring relevant and timely support during critical decision-making processes.
- Automate repetitive tasks: Copilots take on high-volume, mundane work like filling forms, updating records, transferring files, or collecting data.
- Surface insights from data: AI copilots can quickly process large amounts of information, identify patterns and trends, and present actionable insights to drive effective decision-making.
- Streamline communication workflows: Copilots handle common communication tasks like reminding employees about approvals, alerting leaders of issues, or sharing company news updates.
- Orchestrate processes across systems: Copilots integrate with multiple platforms to automate cross-application workflows from end to end.
The common thread is copilots applying intelligence to simplify daily work — all so employees can be more productive, empowered, and engaged. Stay tuned for even more specifics on how AI copilots can be used to deliver value across the enterprise.
Key components and technologies involved
AI copilots blend several advanced technologies to deliver sophisticated automation and assistance, including:
- Conversational interface: Technologies like large language models (LLMs), natural language processing (NLP), and natural language understanding (NLU) can be used to parse and understand free-form requests. Strategies like semantic analysis, entity extraction, and intent recognition enable fluent dialogues.
- Reasoning engine: AI reasoning mimics human-like cognition for assessing issues and devising solutions. Knowledge graphs, machine learning, and pattern recognition can be used to figure out next steps.
- Task automation: Robotic process automation integrates with business systems via APIs and plug-ins to execute routine workflows, functioning as virtual hands to take action.
- Generative summarization: AI models like GPT-4 synthesize information and generate written explanations in simple language tailored to employee inquiries.
- The ability to take action across systems: Seamless coordination allows smooth hand-offs between conversational understanding, solution strategizing, process automation, and summarization abilities.
- Trust mechanisms: Features like verification checks, confidence scores, citation tracking, and human oversight preserve accountability and safety while leveraging AI.
The seamless integration between these core capabilities empowers the flexibility, intelligence, and scalability needed for a copilot to deliver frictionless support across complex enterprise environments.
The evolution from chatbots to copilots in the enterprise
Early chatbots were built with dialog flows, offering simplistic menus and canned answers. Fundamentally, they lacked the contextual understanding and workflow automation abilities needed in enterprise environments.
Here at Moveworks, we set a new standard with our next-gen Copilot combining natural conversations, enterprise integrations, and end-to-end automation. The Moveworks Copilot understands requests in context, asks clarifying questions, and takes action across systems and apps to resolve issues.
Microsoft and other tech giants have also introduced copilots aimed at boosting productivity in the workplace. These efforts show the momentum building behind conversational AI and validate the tremendous value copilots can provide. While many of these other tools are focused on general assistance, these launches represent important steps in making AI accessible to more organizations.
Moveworks complements these broader copilots with deep vertical expertise and enterprise integrations tailored to specific business systems and workflows. Our specialized approach unlocks more advanced automation possibilities across the tech stack.
As AI copilots continue to evolve, they will redefine how businesses operate with personalization, process improvement, and elevated user experiences. The future points towards copilots that combine human-like conversations with broad automation capabilities across devices, apps, and workflows.

Challenges and considerations for copilots in the enterprise
Deploying copilots in the enterprise comes with important challenges and considerations around privacy, security, responsible AI, and more. Here are six key considerations:
- Privacy and data protection: With access to company systems and employee information, it's crucial for copilots to ensure privacy and data protection. Copilots should use anonymization, access controls, and data minimization to only capture necessary info. Encryption and secure storage help safeguard any collected data.
- Security: As a gateway to multiple backends, copilots must meet enterprise security standards. Using least privilege access, multi-factor authentication, and role-based permissions minimizes risks. Ongoing audits help identify and patch vulnerabilities.
- Responsible AI: Ethical AI practices like fairness, accountability, and transparency are essential. Copilots should avoid bias through diverse data and teams. Explainability tools can provide visibility into AI decision-making.
- Change management: Introducing an AI coworker requires thoughtful change management. Clear communication, training resources, and iterative deployment help build employee trust and adoption, while feedback channels allow users to guide copilot improvement.
- Measuring ROI: Hard metrics are needed to demonstrate copilot ROI. Tracking usage volumes, time savings, productivity gains, and cost reductions provides tangible proof of value. Surveys can also gauge soft benefits like employee satisfaction.
- Process alignment: For maximum impact, copilots require tight process alignment. Workflows should be streamlined before automation to avoid digitizing broken processes. AI recommendations must also fit organizational norms.
Deploying copilots at an enterprise scale comes with unique challenges. Addressing these considerations through responsible AI practices, change management, infrastructure readiness, and process alignment is key to rolling out automation successfully.
