I believe Microsoft reused the Copilot brand that it acquired from GitHub for its AI assistant which is embedded in Windows, Bing, and apparently now Office. GitHub Copilot also still exists but is a different product.

Microsoft didn’t acquire Copilot from Github, Microsoft introduced it at Github long after Github was part of Microsoft.
