There absolutely is a =Copilot() function, but only available in the beta version of Excel. It is also officially documented: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/copilot-function-5849821b-755d-4030-a38b-9e20be0cbf62

    Looks like the screenshot uses the formula wrong (no context cells passed), but still... And the docs warn you not to use it for any numerical or high stakes/financial tasks lol "DO NOT USE IF ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT TO YOU" 😂

    The context is optional. But without context, copilot has nothing to work on. So the correct answer should be:

    „Are you stupid?! Which numbers are you talking about?“ instead of „sure thing, the sum of nothing is clearly 15!“
