Copilot: Your Outlook Expert

Scheduling meetings can be a logistical nightmare. Juggling everyone’s availability, finding a suitable time slot, and then managing the back-and-forth emails can consume your precious time. Copilot swoops in to save the day with a collection of features aimed to streamline the process:

• Find the Perfect Time: Gone are the days of endlessly checking calendars and proposing multiple time slots. Copilot analyzes your calendar and team schedules, along with factors like recurring meetings and out-of-office notifications, to suggest suitable meeting times that work for everyone. This feature eliminates the time-consuming email ping-pong of proposing and rejecting times.
• Effortless Invites: No more wasting time crafting individual meeting invites with repetitive details. Copilot generates clear and concise invites. You can even customize the agenda with talking points or attachments, all within the Copilot interface. This frees you up to focus on the more strategic aspects of preparing for the meeting.
• Taming Your Inbox with Copilot: Your inbox can quickly become a bottomless pit of unread emails. But with Copilot on your side, you can transform your email management from a time-consuming chore to a strategic tool for staying informed and connected.
• Email Summarization at Your Fingertips: Don’t have time to read every email in detail, especially lengthy threads? Copilot provides intelligent summaries that highlight the key points, including who sent the email, the main topic, and any action items. This helps you to swiftly grasp the gist and prioritize your responses, ensuring you don’t miss anything important.
• Smart Reply for Swift Communication: Need to acknowledge an email but short on time, or perhaps the email only requires a simple confirmation? Copilot suggests concise and professional quick replies, allowing you to stay on top of communication without lengthy back-and-forth exchanges. This is particularly helpful for repetitive emails like confirmations or thank-you notes.
