New Capabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot
The latest release introduces several groundbreaking features:
- AI-powered Search: Copilot Search is a new AI-powered enterprise search tool that provides instant, context-aware answers from across your organization’s apps and data. It connects to both first- and third-party apps, such as ServiceNow, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, and more, ensuring you get fast, relevant results no matter where your data is stored.
- Create Experience: Create brings the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4o AI image generation to the workplace, enabling everyone to modify or customize brand images and generate AI images aligned with your company’s brand guidelines. You can create everything from marketing copy and social assets to newsletter banners, surveys, and videos from PowerPoint presentations.
- Copilot Notebooks: Copilot Notebooks allows you to compile a wide range of content, including notes, documents, websites, meeting recordings, and more. It then uses this content to provide the most relevant actions and insights, updating in real-time as your content changes. Notebooks can even create a podcast-style audio overview of your content with two hosts guiding you through the key points. A fun and flexible way to stay informed.
- Agent Store: The new Agent Store lets you easily find, pin, and use a variety of agents. The store offers prebuilt agents like Researcher and Analyst, as well as agents from partners like Jira, Monday.com, Miro, and your company’s custom agents providing a single place for on-demand expertise.
- Researcher and Analyst Agents: Researcher and Analyst are two pioneering reasoning agents for work, powered by OpenAI’s deep reasoning models. Researcher helps you tackle complex, multi-step research, delivering insights with greater quality and accuracy than ever before. Analyst functions like a skilled data scientist, transforming raw data into insights in minutes.
- Memory and Personalization: Memory and personalization make Copilot even more tailored to you and your work. Copilot learns how you work and understands your needs and preferences through your chats, job profile, custom instructions, and more. These features are private to you, and you can control what Copilot remembers when working with sensitive information.
- Skills Agent: As the work chart replaces the org chart and becomes more project- and outcome-based, leaders need to understand who has which skills and domain expertise across the organization. The Skills agent, powered by the People Skills data layer, lets leaders create dynamic skill-based teams for any project and helps employees connect with people who have the skills they need.
- Copilot Control System: Microsoft Copilot Studio is the platform for AI makers. It allows you to create and customize enterprise-grade agents for your unique business needs securely. The Copilot Control System provides IT administrators with the tools to manage, govern, and measure Copilot and agents across the organization.
