So far, Copilot—Microsoft's artificial intelligence based on the GPT model—has been primarily promoted as a personal assistant, helping with daily tasks in both private and professional life. However, the American giant now wants to take it a step further. As described in the presentation, Copilot is intended to become a "valuable team member."

Team Copilot - virtual collaborator or... manager

Team Copilot is a new version of Microsoft's artificial intelligence to which tasks and duties related to office work can be assigned. The company provides examples where Team Copilot can act as a meeting moderator, group collaborator, or project manager.

The tool's creators point out that Team Copilot will be able to do the following:

  • manage meeting agendas and take notes in the Teams app;
  • support employees in better performing their duties and solving problems;
  • oversee project execution by assigning tasks, tracking deadlines, and informing team members of their required contributions.

The Team Copilot service will be tightly integrated with Microsoft's Office applications, such as Teams, Loop, and Planner.

Team Copilot - when will the tool be available?

Microsoft informs us that the preview version of Team Copilot will be available to Copilot for Microsoft 365 license holders before the end of the year. However, due to strict EU regulations, European residents will have to wait a little longer.
