Agentic Copilot

Copilot Can Now Work Across Multiple Tasks for You

Copilot has become more agentic — meaning it can plan and complete multi‑step tasks across Microsoft apps, instead of helping with just one thing at a time.

You review the plan first, and then Copilot carries it out.

Why You Should Try it

This is especially helpful when your work doesn’t live in just one place. 

Instead of:

  • Jumping between Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook
  • Repeating prompts
  • Manually copying updates from one file to another

Copilot can take care of the full flow in one go.

Why it matters to you:

  • Saves time on repetitive coordination work
  • Reduces rework and missed details
  • Gives you oversight before anything happens
  • Cuts down on back‑and‑forth prompts

Think of it as a single request instead of multiple small tasks.

NEW Copilot Notebooks

What are Copilot Notebooks?

Copilot Notebooks are AI‑powered workspaces that bring everything for a task, project, or topic into one place—so Copilot can give you smarter, more relevant help.

Instead of starting from scratch in every chat, a Notebook gives Copilot context. It understands which files, notes, meetings, emails, and links matter—and uses only that content to help you think, write, summarize, and make decisions.

Think of a Copilot Notebook as a living project space where your work and Copilot evolve together—not a one‑off AI conversation.

Key Benefits

Everything in one place
Pull together files, meeting notes, emails, pages, links, and Copilot chats. Copilot focuses only on what’s in your Notebook.

More accurate Copilot responses
Because Copilot is grounded in your content, answers and drafts are more relevant—and less generic.

Built for ongoing work
Notebooks keep context over time, making them ideal for projects that evolve over weeks or months.

Easier collaboration
Share Notebooks with teammates to review information, co‑create drafts, and work from the same source material.

Instant big‑picture insight
Get an AI‑generated overview with key themes and suggested actions—no need to reread everything.

Project planning – requirements, notes, timelines, and drafts in one place

Meeting follow‑ups – summaries, action items, and next steps
