Microsoft Copilot appears in various shapes and forms during creation. With the new Team Copilot and agents, Microsoft wants to offer everyone a tailor-made copilot.

Microsoft is launching Build today and, not unexpectedly, Copilot is the star of the show. The AI ​​assistant for the 365 suite is already available in various formulas for large and small companies, with new variants Microsoft wants to ensure that every user and every company finds a tailor-made co-pilot. Microsoft introduces Team Copilot as the newest addition to your department.

Copilot for your department

Team Copilot should act as a personal assistant for specific teams or departments in your company. The AI ​​Assistant is part of your departments’ Teams, Loop and Planner environment and can take over tasks to make the entire team more productive. A quick overview of the roles Team Copilot can fulfill, according to Microsoft.

Team Copilot ensures a more productive discussion during meetings by managing the agenda and creating notes that everyone attending the meeting can contribute to. The AI ​​assistant also closely monitors chat conversations and keeps track of important information and unaddressed action items. Finally, Copilot can also act as a project manager by assigning tasks to team members and reminding them of deadlines.

Team Copilot will be available in preview for organizations with a Copilot for 365 subscription at an unspecified date later this year.

Agents and Extensions

At the end of last year, Microsoft introduced the Copilot Studio for building your own copilots during Ignite and is significantly expanding the capabilities of the developer platform during Build. In the studio, you can now develop customizable copilot agents that automate long-term business processes autonomously, but under your supervision.

To get the most out of your agents, it makes sense for them to be as close as possible to your company data. One of the new features in Copilot Studio allows you to create custom Copilots from Sharepoint to quickly extract information from files. Developers can also use the newly announced expansions to expand the knowledge and skills of their agents. These features will initially be available in a limited early access program and will reach more users later this year.

Microsoft Build lasts until May 23rd. So expect more news from the Redmond camp this week. Microsoft also officially ushered in the Copilot Plus era, leading to the announcement of PCs that can carry the label.
