Copilot is Going to Make Your Team Work Better Together

Have you heard about Team Copilot yet? It’s the latest addition to Microsoft's suite of AI tools and is set to be available later this year.

Think of Team Copilot as an advanced AI-powered assistant designed to enhance your team's collaboration. While Microsoft’s 365 Copilot has been a personal assistant for tasks like drafting emails or recapping missed meetings, Team Copilot focuses on group activities.

Three Main Ways Team Copilot Can Help Your Team:

1. Meeting Facilitator

   During a Teams video call, Team Copilot can take notes that everyone in the meeting can see and edit. It can also create follow-up tasks, track time for each agenda item, and assist with in-person or hybrid meetings when used with Teams Rooms. Learn more about Teams Rooms.

2. Group Text Chat Assistant

   In group text chats within Teams, Copilot can summarize lengthy conversations to highlight the most important information. It can also answer questions from the group, making it easier to stay on track and informed without wading through pages of chat history. Explore Microsoft Teams features.

3. Project Manager

   Team Copilot can help manage projects by creating tasks and goals within Microsoft’s Planner app. It can assign these tasks to team members and even complete some tasks itself, like drafting a blog post. It will notify team members when their input is needed. Check out Microsoft Planner.

Productivity isn't just about individual work; it’s also about effective teamwork. By assisting with group-oriented tasks, Team Copilot can significantly enhance your overall productivity.

Important Note

While Team Copilot is incredibly helpful, it doesn’t replace the role of a human meeting facilitator. It won’t lead meetings or ensure inclusivity, but it will create agendas, track time, take notes, and share files. It’s more of a business insights assistant, helping with group interactions and meetings rather than censoring comments or keeping people in line.

But who knows what’s to come in the future?

When Is Team Copilot Available?

Team Copilot will be available in preview later this year for Microsoft 365 customers with a Copilot subscription. While it’s still a work in progress, its potential to transform team productivity is immense. 

Keep an eye out for its release and consider how it could fit into your workflow to boost your team’s productivity.
