Copilot adapts to you thanks to improved memory
In July, a new feature called Copilot Memory was introduced on the official Microsoft 365 Copilot blog. Thanks to this feature, Copilot can better reflect context and provide more relevant outputs.
Microsoft's AI assistant can now remember your writing style, communication preferences, and the projects you are working on. It then uses this information in subsequent interactions. You have full control over its memory and can edit, expand, or completely delete it at any time. How to use this new feature?
Tip: We recommend using Copilot only under your university account (via single sign-on) so that you are covered by the institutional license protecting your data.

1) Enter a prompt in the chat
Tell Copilot directly what to remember: “Remember that [...]” or “[...] Please remember this information.” Copilot only stores intentional instructions. If you are logged in, you will see three dots in the upper right corner. Click on them, select Settings, and in the Copilot Memory section, you will see an overview of all the information the tool has collected about you.

2) Set your own instructions
If you are logged in, you will see three dots in the upper right corner. Click on them, select Settings, and in the Custom Instructions section, you can formulate the information that Copilot should store in its memory. You can also tell it how you want it to communicate with you and how it should formulate its answers – in bullet points, in continuous text, without emoticons, etc.
Let's recap
- If you are logged in, you can explore Copilot's memory by clicking on the three dots > Settings, Copilot Personalisation section.
- The memory feature can be turned off at any time.
- Each time the memory is updated, a notification will appear.
