Summarize projects, meetings and communications
Need a quick recap of your latest project, meeting or email chain? Copilot can compile concise summaries, giving you an overview without having to sift through documents or messages.
Example: After a Teams meeting, go to the Recap tab and open Copilot to get a summary of the meeting. You could ask, “What questions were asked, answered and unresolved?” or “Summarize what people said, in a less technical way.”
Stay secure with Copilot
Any data that you share with Copilot is only used for your organization and is not used to train any of the foundational LLMs used by Copilot. The security rules that you have set up for your organization are inherited by Copilot, which means you don’t need to do any extra work to make sure your data is protected.
