New Productivity AI tool from Microsoft: Team Copilot

June 28, 2024

Have you heard about Team Copilot? It's a new AI tool from Microsoft that's coming out later this year.

Team Copilot is like a super-smart assistant that helps your team work together more effectively. While Microsoft's 365 Copilot has been helping individuals with tasks like writing emails or catching up on missed meetings, Team Copilot is all about helping the whole team.

Here's how Team Copilot can help your team:

Helping with Meetings

During a video call on Teams, Team Copilot can take notes that everyone can see and edit. It can also make a list of tasks to do after the meeting, keep track of time for each item on the agenda, and even help with in-person or hybrid meetings when used with Teams Rooms.

Assisting with Group Chats

In group text chats on Teams, Copilot can summarize long conversations to show the most important information. It can also answer questions from the group, so it's easier to stay informed without having to read through tons of chat history.

Managing Projects

Team Copilot can help manage projects by creating tasks and goals in Microsoft's Planner app. It can assign these tasks to team members and even perform some tasks itself, like writing a blog post. It will also let team members know when they need to give their input.

Remember, being productive isn't just about individual work. It's also about how well the team works together. So, by helping with tasks that involve the whole team, Team Copilot can really boost your productivity.

But keep in mind that while Team Copilot is super helpful, it doesn't replace a human meeting leader. It won't run meetings or make sure everyone is included, but it will create agendas, keep track of time, take notes, and share files.

Think of it more as a helper for business insights, helping with group meetings and interactions rather than controlling what people say or do. But who knows what it might be able to do in the future!

Team Copilot will be available for a preview later this year for Microsoft 365 customers with a Copilot subscription. It's still being worked on, but it has huge potential to transform your team's productivity.

So, keep an eye out for when it's released, and think about how it could help your team be more productive.

If you have any questions or need more help understanding how Copilot can help your business, feel free to reach out.
