What you need to know
Earlier this year, Microsoft unveiled Copilot for Microsoft 365, an AI tool that can assist you in creating content and using many of the applications and services that are part of the Microsoft 365 subscription. Copilot in Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel, and Teams were highlighted, but there was no mention of other apps and services such as Outlook or Loop.
That changes today, asMicrosoft has announcedthat Copilot is indeed coming to OneNote, Loop, Whiteboard and Viva Learning. Copilot in OneNote will be able to draft plans, generate ideas, create lists, and organize information to help users find what they need. Copilot in Loop will be able to intelligently summarize content on a page, keeping everyone aligned on goals and milestones.
Here’s the list of AI features Microsoft is announcing for Microsoft 365 apps and services today:
Microsoft has been full steam ahead on delivering new AI capabilities in many of its products over the last handful of months, starting with AI features in Microsoft Bing. Bing Chat has taken the world by storm, adding an AI assistant to search that can gather data for you with simple queries. That same functionality is being built into Edge, too.
Now, with Copilot in Microsoft 365, much of that technology is also coming to Office. Unlike Bing AI, however, Copilot for Microsoft 365 is not yet in public preview. Microsoft has been testing it with 20 enterprise customers, andhas just announced a paid preview programfor 600 enterprise customers to partake in if they wish. There’s no word on when Copilot for Microsoft 365 will be available publicly just yet.
