Frequently asked questions

Copilot in the Microsoft Advertising Platform combines the power of natural language conversations and generative AI to simplify and enhance your advertising experience. Whether you need help with campaign creation, asset recommendations, or image creation, you can tell Copilot and it will guide you with what to do in real-time.

Of course. You’re always in control. Copilot recommends assets, but also allows you to refine them with the help of AI. Click the magic pen next to your headline or description to ask Copilot to completely rewrite a headline or description given a prompt, try a different tone of voice, to make your copy more friendly, formal or persuasive.  Or you can ask for similar headlines based on what you already have where Copilot will suggest variations on your chosen theme.

Copilot in the Microsoft Advertising Platform is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

Recommendations by Copilot in the Microsoft Advertising Platform are derived from a variety of data sources, including the landing page you provide and your existing campaign assets, to provide users with unique, personalized recommendations. With that, the opportunity for Copilot to generate duplicative recommendations is limited. Just as two independent marketers might write similar copy, there is a small chance that Copilot will render similar recommendations. However, what Copilot won’t do is borrow data provided by other advertisers to generate your recommendations. Your data is your data.

In so many ways, AI creates exciting opportunities for all of us to bring new ideas to life. Microsoft is taking new steps to ensure these new technologies are resistant to abuse. We are committed as a company to a robust, technical, and comprehensive approach that protects people, grounded in safety by design. Our strong safety architecture is applied at the AI platform, model, and applications levels. It includes aspects such as ongoing red team analysis, preemptive classifiers, the blocking of abusive prompts, automated testing, and rapid bans of users who abuse the system. Durable media provenance and watermarking are essential to combat deepfakes in video, images, or audio. We use cryptographic methods to mark and sign AI-generated content with metadata about its source and history. Microsoft has been a leader in R&D on methods for authenticating provenance, including as a co-founder of Project Origin and the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). We use provenance technology, watermarking and fingerprinting techniques to quickly determine if an image or video is AI generated or manipulated. We are committed to identifying and removing deceptive and abusive content like this when it is on our hosted consumer services such as LinkedIn, our Gaming network, and other relevant services.
