7 new things you can do with CoPilot

I'm impressed at how Microsoft are maintaining the rapid pace of development of CoPilot.

Over the last six months, several new features have appeared in CoPilot that can help small businesses work smarter and more efficiently. Here’s a short overview of these features.

1. Improved Web Search Integration: Copilot can now reference web content via Bing search, providing up-to-date information and helping you to stay current with the latest industry trends and news.

2. Copilot Agents: These AI agents can be integrated into Microsoft 365 tools like SharePoint and Teams. They can help automate repetitive tasks, answering frequently asked questions or generating reports.

3. Generative Answers: Copilot can now generate answers that include non-text elements from uploaded files, such as charts and images. Great for businesses that need to quickly analyse and present data.

4. Expanded File Summarisation: Copilot can summarise content over a specific period, making it easier to review and understand large documents or email threads.

5. Meeting Preparation: In Outlook, Copilot can help prepare for meetings by summarising key points and suggesting agenda items based on email content.

6. Voice Commands: Copilot now supports voice commands, making it more accessible and efficient to use.

7. Risk Assessment Guide: A new guide is available to create a risk assessment of Copilot for Microsoft 365. This ensures that businesses can safely implement and use Copilot.
