"The latest update injects Copilot into the mix, letting the AI draw on your organization's people, files, and meetings to offer context-aware prompts and summaries. "With Copilot, each companion app will be grounded in your work data - people, files, meetings - making them the fastest and easiest way to prompt for relevant questions," Microsoft 365 companion apps team principal product manager Yash Kamalanath said in the company's announcement."
"Both People and Files Copilot features are live now, with the Calendar integration coming soon, Microsoft said. Files will allow users to loop Copilot into work documents to get a summary, highlight recent changes, pick apart data, and "create action items without breaking your flow." The Copilot Calendar companion app integration, meanwhile, will let users get meeting summaries and suggestions on what material to prep for an upcoming discussion."
Microsoft is integrating Copilot into the Microsoft 365 companion taskbar apps — People, Files, and Calendar — to provide context-aware prompts and summaries based on organizational data. The companion apps are lightweight, always-on tools for browsing People, Files, and Calendar data and are automatically installed on Windows 11 devices with Microsoft 365 subscriptions for Enterprise and Business customers. Copilot in People surfaces recent communications, highlights responsibilities, and suggests tailored prompts to aid collaboration. Files lets users summon Copilot to summarize documents, highlight recent changes, analyze data, and create action items. Calendar integration will provide meeting summaries and preparation suggestions. People and Files features are live now; Calendar arrives soon.
