Microsoft to boost Teams platform with advanced AI capabilities soon
Microsoft is set to supercharge its Teams platform with the integration of its AI-powered tool, Copilot. The tech giant aims to expand Copilot's functionality within Teams in the coming months, focusing on enhancing the meeting chat and chat compose box. This integration will empower users to extract insights and information from meeting chats and transcripts, offering a more comprehensive and inclusive perspective of their discussions.
Copilot to facilitate message composition and meeting insights
Beyond improving meeting chats, Copilot will also lend a hand in message composition. The AI tool can now help users revise a drafted message based on a custom prompt, such as incorporating a call to action or even a humorous touch. Soon, Copilot will be able to generate new messages by gleaning context from Teams chat, providing users with a starting point for their messages.
