Since its introduction, Microsoft Copilot has revolutionised teamwork by harnessing advanced AI capabilities. Recently, Microsoft released a report reviewing what it and its users have learned over the past year, highlighting significant insights that can benefit businesses like yours.  

But that's not all—Microsoft has launched the next wave of tools, resources, and functionalities to improve Copilot.  

What's the Update? 

Copilot Pages in BizChat  

Microsoft is adding a new document type called Copilot Pages, which is integrated into its BizChat app and enables workers to collaborate using AI tools.   

How it Works  

Imagine you're working on an important project, like an annual report or a business case, and you need input from various team members. With Copilot Pages, everyone can collaborate in real-time using AI tools to ensure you pull the most accurate and up-to-date information from across your organisation.  

Whether you're creating a presentation or pulling together data, Copilot Pages speeds things up by providing insights directly from your company’s knowledge base. 
This means projects get done faster, with less manual work, and more accurate, up-to-date information—so your team can make smarter decisions, faster.  

Copilot Agents are AI-powered virtual assistants designed to automate routine tasks that often slow your team down.  

A Copilot agent can automatically handle processes like creating a sales ticket, addressing a customer complaint, or scheduling a follow-up meeting.  

The result? Increased productivity, faster response times, and more consistent execution of tasks.  

Lessons Learned

Over the past year, Microsoft’s experience with Copilot has uncovered key takeaways:

  • User Adoption is Key: Early adopters in the organisation demonstrated Copilot's value, making it easier for others to adopt it.

  • Continuous Improvement: Regular updates and listening to user feedback have helped improve Copilot's performance to meet real needs.

  • Integration is Important: Ensuring Copilot works smoothly with your existing tools boosts its effectiveness and user satisfaction.

Tips on Implementing AI at Work

Find Your AI Champions

Encourage those excited about AI to share their skills. Let team members who are passionate about AI lead by example. Their enthusiasm will help others get on board and make adoption easier across the company.

Build the AI Habit

Encourage teams to make AI tools like Copilot part of their everyday routines. The more they use them, the easier and more helpful they will find it, leading to long-term productivity gains.
