Das Wichtigste in Kürze

Team Copilot acts as an active AI team member in Microsoft Teams, Loop and Planner
Core functions: meeting leader, group member and project manager
New agent function enables individual automation of business processes via Copilot Studio
Developers gain more flexibility through extended APIs and custom Copilots

Microsoft Team Copilot is an AI-based feature in the Microsoft Teams app, not to be confused with the Copilot Chat feature in Teams. It utilises the power of GPT models (such as those in the Azure OpenAI service) to help users get their work done and structure it more efficiently.

Team Copilot goes beyond the role of a personal assistant and acts as an active team member. It supports you with communication, logging, takes over routine tasks and optimises project management. It also keeps an eye on project progress, ensures transparency and helps you and your team to work together more efficiently and productively.

What are the most important functions of Team Copilot?

Meeting leader: Summarise meetings and open points, manage daily planning and create notes in real time (brand new even in Swiss German).
Group member: Extracts important information from chats, tracks action items and addresses open issues.
Project manager: Creating and assigning tasks, monitoring deadlines and notifying team members.

These functions are integrated into common Microsoft tools such as Teams, Loop and Planner, so that users can utilise the benefits of Team Copilot in their familiar working environment.

Agents - the next step in process automation

The introduction of customised Copilots, which act as agents, is another important step forward in the development of Copilot. These agents are able to orchestrate and automate business processes. With the new functions of Copilot Studio, these Copilots can be customised to the specific requirements of the company. This allows companies to create customised workflows ranging from order acceptance to automated order processing.

Advantages of the agent function

Automation of business processes: From order acceptance to delivery.
Context-related actions: Agents can store information and thus enable seamless transitions.
Learning through feedback: Copilots adapt and continuously improve based on user feedback.
Proactive handling of exceptions: Agents can request help with complex enquiries or manage exceptions.

These features are currently available in a private preview, which means that companies already have the opportunity to increase their efficiency before these technologies become generally available.

More flexibility for developers

The new Copilot extensions and connections make it even easier to customise Copilot to the individual needs of a company. These extensions allow developers to integrate Copilot into existing data and business systems, which greatly increases Copilot's customisability and flexibility.

Copilot-Extensions: Developers can develop customised functions in Copilot Studio or using the Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio.
Copilot interfaces: Faster and simplified access to data sources and business applications.

These open interfaces further strengthen Copilot's innovative power and create a platform that is attractive not only for end users but also for developers.

Important innovations at a glance

Here is an overview of the most important new features that offer decisive improvements and new opportunities for companies:

Team Copilot: A valuable new member of the team who takes on tasks and optimises collaboration.
Assistenten: Customised copilots that automate business processes and promote efficiency gains.
