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
BRB, gonna bankrupt a mega corporation real quick.
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!“
