Copilot Cowork is here!
Woop woop – Microsoft has launched Copilot Cowork – a major evolution of Microsoft 365 Copilot. Currently, Copilot is about answering questions and creating content. Copilot Cowork is designed to help people delegate work, complete multi-step tasks and deliver full projects.
Ok, what is Copilot Cowork?
Think of Copilot Cowork as your AI co-worker, designed to support you. Put simply, you can describe an outcome that you want to achieve and Copilot Cowork will…
- Plan,
- Coordinate,
- And complete multi-step tasks across Microsoft 365.
This includes activities like drafting and sending emails, preparing meeting content, creating documents, and coordinating follow-ups, all actions require that a human stays in the loop and approves the content created.
Oh yeah, how will this work in the real world?!
Fair question – Microsoft has highlighted a range of practical scenarios, so let’s go through them…
Calendar management
We are starting off HOT! Cowork can review a busy schedule, identify conflicts, recommend changes, create focus time and even help manage meeting preparation.
Watch a short video about how calendar management works in Cowork.
Sales and pipeline review
Sales teams can ask Cowork to analyse pipelines, identify at-risk opportunities and recommend follow-up actions based on customer interactions and engagement history.
