OneNote will soon have Microsoft’s brand-new Microsoft 365 Copilot assistant. The software company is now prepared to demonstrate how an AI-powered assistant will affect note taking. Copilot was first introduced by the software giant last month for apps like Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Greg Mace, a product manager for OneNote, explains that Copilot leverages your prompts as your note-taking companion to write plans, generate ideas, build lists, organise information, and more.
The AI assistant may rewrite, format, or summarise current material in OneNote based on prompts via a sidebar interface, much as Copilot’s integration in Word. You may also ask the AI assistant to plan an event or to come up with meeting topics and talking points.
But, Microsoft hasn’t yet shown Copilot’s integrated connectivity with OneNote. As you mouse over a piece of a highlighted paragraph in the Word version, the Copilot assistant will emerge and offer you automatically modified content.
Moreover, Microsoft hasn’t specified a precise release date for Copilot in OneNote. Some of these early versions of Copilot can be activated in beta versions of Word right now. A small number of Microsoft 365 enterprise customers are now testing them in programmes like Word and Outlook.
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with Word’s Copilot private preview and utilising it to generate content. Since it is still in a very early development stage, a lot of functionality is still lacking. And needs to be added before it can be made available for public preview. Microsoft has not yet set a release date for Copilot. And is now actively testing it before making it more widely available.
In conclusion, Microsoft’s AI Copilot is set to enhance OneNote’s capabilities by assisting with rewriting, formatting, and summarizing notes. As well as planning events and generating talking points. However, the integrated connectivity with OneNote has not been demonstrated yet. And a release date for Copilot in OneNote has not been specified. Currently, Microsoft is testing the beta versions of Copilot in Word and Outlook with a limited number of enterprise customers, and it is still in the early stages of development. While the technology shows promise, there is still much work to be done before it is ready for public release.
