Why is it Microsoft can't figure out how to let Copilot remember conversations to retain for further discussions or work projects yet contain the privacy issue. If you can't figure it out. Let me know, I believe I can help.

    Microsoft Copilot currently does not have the capability to remember conversations across sessions due to privacy and data protection concerns. This limitation is primarily in place to ensure that user data is not stored or accessed inappropriately, thereby safeguarding user privacy.

    Microsoft is continuously working on improving Copilot's capabilities while maintaining strict privacy standards. If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can submit them through the Feedback Hub to help the Copilot team optimise and enhance the product. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/extensibility/feedback

    Hello Steven Kirchubel,

    Currently, Microsoft Copilot lacks the functionality to remember conversations across sessions. This limitation is primarily due to privacy and data protection protocols, which are in place to ensure that user data is neither stored nor accessed inappropriately, thus safeguarding user privacy.

    Microsoft is actively working on enhancing Copilot's capabilities while adhering to stringent privacy standards. For any suggestions or feedback, you are encouraged to submit them through the Feedback to assist the Copilot development team in optimizing and improving the product.

    You already have the answer. You use the customers computer to retain the information for excel, word and other programs by providing the platform and having the customer's computer retain the information. Example. Excel program is a blank slate, the program comes up and has no information, that is the format, the data is stored on the customers computer. The only difference would be that AI is not a program stored in the customer's computer but provided by microsoft but the data that Copilot needs to retain for the illusion of memory will be stored on the customer's computer in the same manner. You maintain the control of Copilot and the customer maintains the control of the data.
