It might serve an organization’s needs as a whole or as a department.
As you might have guessed from the name of the product, Team Copilot is a form of Microsoft’s artificial intelligence tool that is designed to meet the requirements of a group of users. Microsoft made the announcement at the Build event that took place this year. According to the announcement made by the firm, it extends the capabilities of Copilot beyond those of a personal assistant, allowing it to provide assistance to a full team, a department, or even an entire organization. This new tool was developed to take on time-consuming chores in order to free up workers. Some examples of these tasks include maintaining the agenda for meetings and taking minutes that members of the group can modify as necessary.
Furthermore, Team Copilot is able to perform the function of a meeting moderator by providing a summary of significant information for those who arrive late (or for reference after the fact) and by responding to queries. In conclusion, it is able to generate and assign tasks in Planner, monitor the deadlines associated with those tasks, and alert members of the team if they are required to contribute to or evaluate a particular assignment. Beginning in the latter part of this year, participants who have paid for the license to use Copilot for Microsoft 365 will have access to these functionalities, which will be available in preview throughout the entire platform.
Microsoft has revealed new methods for consumers to personalize the artificial intelligence assistant, in addition to the availability of Team Copilot. Users will be able to develop custom Copilots in SharePoint through the use of Copilot Studio. This will allow users to obtain the information they require in a more expedient manner. Additionally, users will be able to create custom Copilots that function as agents. Specifically, the latter would make it possible for businesses and business owners to automate commercial activities, such as order fulfillment from beginning to end. Last but not least, the introduction of Copilot connectors in Studio will make it simpler for developers to construct Copilot extensions that make it possible to personalize the activities of the AI tools.
Today, May 21, 2024, at 1:24 AM Eastern Time: This article has been revised to make it clear that Team Copilot is a completely unique entity from Copilot for Teams. Team Copilot is an assistant that can cater to the requirements of a group of users.
