Copilot Chat Arrives in Microsoft 365 Apps

Copilot Chat for Microsoft 365 Apps

The rollout of the Copilot Chat integration with the Microsoft 365 apps has started, with the intention of making it easier to use AI in peoples’ work. Nice as the integration is, the news that an Open in Word action button is coming (soon) to allow content generated by Copilot to be edited in Word is even better. And we round out the week with a note about a change to the domain used by Teams.

Summarize Email Thread Feature Coming to Outlook

Summarize EMail Thread for Outlook

In late August, Microsoft plans to release the Copilot summarize email thread feature in Outlook clients without the need for a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. This news might seem surprising, but it’s simply a matter of business. If Microsoft doesn’t make basic AI features available in Outlook, ISVs (including OpenAI) will fill the gaps with add-ons. And that might make it harder to sell Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses.
