Have you heard about Team Copilot yet? It’s the latest innovation in Microsoft’s AI toolkit, set to launch later this year.

Think of Team Copilot as a supercharged assistant designed to enhance team collaboration. While Microsoft’s 365 Copilot has been your go-to for individual tasks like drafting emails or summarizing missed meetings, Team Copilot shifts the focus to group activities.

Here are three key ways Team Copilot can transform your teamwork:

1. Meeting Facilitator

During Teams video calls, Team Copilot takes comprehensive notes that everyone can view and edit. It also creates follow-up tasks, tracks time for each agenda item, and supports both in-person and hybrid meetings when paired with Teams Rooms.

2. Group Text Chat Assistant

In Teams group chats, Copilot summarizes long conversations, highlighting the crucial points. It answers questions from the group, helping everyone stay informed and on track without sifting through endless messages.

3. Project Manager

Team Copilot streamlines project management by creating tasks and setting goals in Microsoft’s Planner app. It assigns tasks to team members and can even handle some tasks itself, like drafting a blog post. It also notifies team members when their input is required.

Effective productivity isn’t just about individual work—it’s about seamless teamwork. By assisting with group tasks, Team Copilot significantly boosts overall productivity.

However, it’s important to remember that while Team Copilot is incredibly helpful, 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 more as a business insights assistant, enhancing group interactions and meetings rather than moderating conversations. And who knows what future updates might bring!

Team Copilot will be available in preview later this year for Microsoft 365 customers with a Copilot subscription. Although it’s still in development, its potential to revolutionize team productivity is immense.

Keep an eye out for its release and consider how it could enhance your workflow to boost your team’s productivity.
