DTU gives access for students and employees to a somewhat similar chat tool, based on a large language model, from Microsoft, which you can find at https://copilot.microsoft.com/. It is sometimes referred to as “Copilot for the web”.

The version made available to DTU students and employees is based on ChatGPT4 Turbo (as of April 2024), and offers a protected model that keeps all searches and answers within DTU’s cloud solutions, so that they will not be used to train the AI model.

The full announcement can be found here. You can also read more on AI-technolgoies at DTU.

In order to access the service, you can go to Bing Chat and log in with your DTU credentials.

You can also use it from within the Edge browser. Read more at Microsoft.

To get started prompting, you may also seek inspiration from this article.

The service also provides access to DALL-E, so you can prompt the service to generate images.

Note, however, that the similarly named “Copilot 365” assistive technololgies in other Microsoft tools (Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, …) are not included in the toolbox made available to DTU students and employees.

Neither are the similarly named “Copilot” tool found in the Microsoft owned GitHub universe; however these may be available to students and faculty through a general academic version that requires separate registration and verification. The license terms will then also be different. Check GitHub’s own explanation for details. Once your academic status has been verified, you can enable GitHub Copilot in the menu, where it confirms whether you have been granted free access.
