In the early morning of this morningMicrosoft At the Build 2024 Developer Conference, Microsoft announced the latest Team Copilot.
Team Copilot It is an extension of Copilot for Microsoft 365, which aims to "extend Copilot beyond a personal AI assistant to help teams improve collaboration and project management." Users will be able to call Copilot in applications such as Teams, Loop, and Planner.
According to Microsoft, Team Copilot has three main functions, including:

Team Collaborators: Team Copilot helps everyone get more out of chat to uncover important information, track action items, and resolve outstanding issues.
-
Project Managers: Team Copilot ensures every project runs smoothly by creating and assigning tasks, tracking deadlines, and reminding team members when their input is needed.
Microsoft says these features will be available in preview to customers with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses later in 2024.
In addition, Microsoft has introduced new agent capabilities for Copilot Studio, designed to help developers build a Copilot that can proactively respond to data and events and can be customized for specific tasks and functions:
-
Automate long-running business processes.
-
Reasoning based on actions and user input.
-
Use memory to introduce context.
-
Learn based on user feedback.
-
Log unusual requests and ask for help.
Of course, these features in Copilot Studio are still in early access, and Microsoft is preparing to push them widely later in 2024.
Microsoft is also launching new Copilot extensions to "make it easy for everyone to customize Copilot operations and extend Copilot to their data and line-of-business systems."
According to reports, developers can use Copilot Studio or Visual Studio's Teams toolkit to build these extensions; Microsoft also introduced the Copilot connector for Copilot Studio, allowing developers to develop Copilot extensions faster and better.
