What Copilot does in installation technology

Core tasks in installation technology
Where Copilot is strong
  • Deep Microsoft 365 integration
  • Grounding on your own data via Microsoft Graph
  • Strong enterprise governance and compliance
  • Choice between GPT and Claude models

Copilot raises a concrete GDPR concern. The Claude models within Copilot officially fall outside the EU Data Boundary. If you want strictly EU-only processing, exclude the Claude models in the admin panel. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in installation technology.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Project data and customer details (address, energy consumption, installation status) are personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Technical documentation from manufacturers may be protected by copyright; check the usage licence before loading it into an AI system. AI estimates are always a starting point, expert verification remains essential.

Microsoft 365 Copilot (business) falls under the EU Data Boundary and does not train on tenant data. Consumer Copilot does train by default, with an opt-out.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
