Copilot is Helping Teams Work Together

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

Think of Team Copilot as an advanced, AI-powered assistant that enhances team collaboration. While Microsoft’s 365 Copilot assists individuals with tasks like drafting emails or summarizing meetings, Team Copilot focuses on helping groups work more efficiently. 

Here’s how Team Copilot can support your team: 

1. Meeting Facilitator 

During a Teams video call, Team Copilot can take notes that everyone can see and edit. It creates follow-up tasks, tracks time for each agenda item, and assists with in-person or hybrid meetings when used with Teams Rooms. 

1. Group Chat Assistant 

In group text chats within Teams, Copilot summarizes lengthy conversations to highlight key points. It answers group questions, keeping everyone informed without having to scroll through endless chat history. 

1. Project Manager 

Team Copilot manages projects by creating tasks and goals within Microsoft’s Planner app. It assigns tasks to team members and can even draft documents like blog posts. It notifies team members when their input is needed. 

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

While Team Copilot is incredibly helpful, it doesn’t replace a human meeting facilitator. It won’t lead meetings or ensure inclusivity, but it will create agendas, track time, take notes, and share files. 

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

Keep an eye out for its release and consider how it could enhance your workflow.
