What Is Copilot Natural Language Search in Dynamics 365 CRM
Copilot Natural Language Search is a capability within Dynamics 365 CRM that allows users to ask questions using everyday language instead of navigating menus or configuring filters and views.
Users can request information such as open opportunities, pipeline summaries, or account activity simply by typing what they want to know. Dynamics 365 Copilot translates those requests into structured queries and returns relevant records or visual summaries directly inside CRM.
This feature is designed to reduce friction and make CRM more accessible for users who are not system experts.
