New AI colleague to help with emails, meetings and documents

The new Microsoft 365 Copilot service can help you organize meetings, manage emails and create documents like a colleague. A big change is its new Business Chat feature, which works across all Microsoft 365 apps and, like a real colleague, provides personalized assistance with everyday tasks and challenges. Business Chat allows users to chat with their AI colleague in Teams, for example, just like they would with a real colleague.  

Business Chat is your new AI colleague 

Business Chat works across all your Microsoft 365 apps and helps you do things you’ve never been able to do before. It combines information from your documents, presentations, email, calendar, notes and contacts. By importing information from multiple sources it helps everyone on your team stay on the same page and best of all, streamline your work by minimizing the time spent wading through information. It therefore aims to free up time from routine tasks to focus on the most important work.

Business Chat wades through data sets to find all the relevant information. Business Chat can produce responses based on things like the morning’s meetings and the latest emails received. With its artificial intelligence, it aims to understand the user’s context to provide you with what you need at that moment.  

AI is changing the way we work 

AI is the new superpower of the workplace, allowing people to save valuable working time from routine tasks to do other valuable things. However, it remains to be seen how much time will be spent checking tasks performed by an AI assistant. The new Microsoft 365 Copilot service has the potential to greatly revolutionize the way we work and collaborate.
