explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Copilot is like a smart assistant for your Microsoft 365 applications, helping you work more efficiently by providing suggestions and automating tasks. Imagine it as a helpful colleague who knows exactly where to find the information you need and can assist you in completing your work faster.

Now, with the introduction of Copilot Connector, you can connect Microsoft 365 Copilot to Amazon S3, which is a popular service for storing and retrieving large amounts of data. Think of Amazon S3 as a giant digital filing cabinet where you can store all your important documents in an organized way. By connecting these two, Copilot can access these structured document repositories directly.

This is similar to having a library card that not only lets you borrow books from your local library but also gives you access to a vast network of libraries across the country. You can quickly find and use information from a much larger collection without having to physically visit each library.

For businesses, this means that employees can easily access and utilize data stored in Amazon S3 through the familiar Microsoft 365 interface. It streamlines the process of finding and using information, making it as simple as searching for a document on your computer. This integration can enhance productivity by reducing the time spent on searching for documents and allowing employees to focus more on their core tasks.
