UTK offers Microsoft Copilot to all students, faculty, and staff at no extra cost through their existing Microsoft 365 accounts. It can summarize emails, draft documents, run Excel formulas using plain-language commands, and generate images — all within familiar Office apps.

Microsoft Copilot is accessible inside the Edge browser and via Office 365 web applications. A higher-tier version — Microsoft Copilot integrated directly with Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — is available to departments for an additional annual subscription fee. OIT explicitly advises users not to enter proprietary research data or sensitive university information into Copilot, directing them to UT Verse or the UT AI Hub instead for privacy-sensitive work. As of March 2025, UTK also introduced Microsoft Teams Premium, which adds AI-powered meeting features including automatically generated meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights for licensed faculty and staff.
