This tutorial will show you how to start a temporary chat (conversation) with Copilot in Windows 11, Microsoft Edge, and on the web.
The Microsoft Copilot app is an AI here to give advice, inspiration, and help when you need a hand. You can start a conversation to get clear answers to tough questions, turn ideas into images, or polish your writing until it shines.
Signing into Copilot using your personal Microsoft Account gives you access to your chat history, image creation, longer conversations, voice interactions, and other Copilot features.
If you want to chat without using or updating memory, you can Start a temporary chat. These conversations won’t access or store any personalized information. Also, the conversation won’t appear in your chat history and can’t be referenced or accessed later by you or Copilot.
