Copilot for OneDrive: Microsoft’s New AI Assistant for Organizing, Searching and Summarizing Files
Copilot for OneDrive is an AI assistant that can find, summarize, and extract information from files like documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and more.
It will be able to respond to natural language questions about file contents and perform tasks like creating tables and outlines from existing files.
Summaries can be tailored depending on what a user wants to focus on, such as only including key points from a specific section.
The assistant will be available through OneDrive on the web, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint once released in late April for commercial Microsoft 365 customers.
It aims to make searching files easier and faster by using AI to intelligently organize and summarize documents.
Users will first get a preview of Copilot’s summarization abilities by including auto-generated summaries of shared Word files in emails.
