explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're at a bustling airport, and you're trying to find the quickest way to your gate. Instead of reading through a long list of flight information, you have a friendly assistant who quickly tells you the key details you need to know: your gate number, boarding time, and any delays. This is similar to what Microsoft 365's Copilot does with PDF files on your mobile device.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is like having a personal assistant for your documents. When you open a PDF in the Microsoft 365 app on your Android or iOS device, Copilot can help you by summarizing the content and highlighting the most important insights. This means you don't have to read through the entire document to get the gist of it, saving you time and effort.

Think of it as having a smart, digital assistant that reads through lengthy contracts or reports and then gives you a concise summary of what matters most. It's like having a colleague who has already read the document and is briefing you on the essentials, so you can make informed decisions without getting bogged down in details.

This feature is currently in development and will be available worldwide, allowing users to access it regardless of their location. By integrating this functionality into the Microsoft 365 app, users can easily manage and understand their PDF documents on the go, much like having a knowledgeable assistant in their pocket, ready to provide insights whenever needed.
