Microsoft just unveiled Copilot at its Future of Work AI event. The tool uses artificial intelligence to generate content. It also brings Microsoft’s apps closer together by allowing users to create content in one app based on information from another. The tech giant showed off Copilot for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint during its event. Copilot also works within Teams.

If you arrive late to a meeting, Copilot can create a recap of highlights that have been said by attendees. It can also answer questions that have been asked, suggest who should follow up on certain items, and list a good time for future check-ins.
