Have you heard about Team Copilot?
Team Copilot is the latest addition to Microsoft’s suite of AI tools, slated for release later this year.
Imagine Team Copilot as an advanced, AI-powered assistant designed to enhance your team’s collaboration. While Microsoft’s 365 Copilot serves as a personal assistant for tasks like drafting emails or summarising missed meetings, Team Copilot elevates this by focusing on group activities.
Here are three key ways Team Copilot can benefit your team:
- Meeting Facilitator:
During a Teams video call, Team Copilot can take notes visible to all participants, who can also edit them. It can create follow-up tasks, track time for each agenda item, and assist with both in-person and hybrid meetings when used with Teams Rooms. - Group Text Chat Assistant:
In group text chats within Teams, Copilot can summarise lengthy conversations to highlight the most important points. It can also answer questions from the group, helping everyone stay informed and on track without sifting through extensive chat history. - Project Manager:
Team Copilot can manage projects by creating tasks and goals within Microsoft’s Planner app. It can assign these tasks to team members and even complete some tasks itself, such as drafting a blog post. It will notify team members when their input is needed.
Productivity isn’t just about individual work; it’s about effective teamwork. By aiding with group-oriented tasks, Team Copilot can significantly boost your overall productivity.
While Team Copilot is incredibly useful, 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.
Think of it as a business insights assistant, enhancing group interactions and meetings without moderating comments or keeping people in line. But who knows what the future holds!
Team Copilot will be available in preview later this year for Microsoft 365 customers with a Copilot subscription. Although it’s still a work in progress, its potential to transform team productivity is immense.
Stay tuned for its release and consider how it could integrate into your workflow to boost your team’s efficiency.
