Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2

On 16 September, 2024 Microsoft made a whole raft of announcements regarding Copilot: you can watch the launch event here: https://bit.ly/4epu6qq, and/or find the written announcements here: https://bit.ly/3TLq2IZ, or read on for the summary.

First of all, there’s a new member of the wider Copilot family called Copilot Pages. It’s essentially a space where you can easily put content you get from Copilot and then collaborate on it with your colleagues. Find the detail on Copilot Pages here: https://bit.ly/3TyEAvr with a video of it in action. Next up, there’s another family member – Copilot Agents, which is designed to enable anyone to add new knowledge and skills to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Find the detail on Copilot Agents here: https://bit.ly/4gq9vnA. Existing members of the family – like Copilot in Word or PowerPoint, for example – have been enhanced, and you can find detail about that here: https://bit.ly/3TLq2IZ.

And then there’s the rebranding… The old Copilot for Microsoft 365 becomes Microsoft 365 Copilot and that change ripples through to Microsoft 365 Copilot for Sales, Service, and Finance.
