explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you are in a meeting, and instead of scribbling down notes or trying to remember everything later, you have a personal assistant who listens to the conversation and neatly organizes all the important points for you. This is essentially what Microsoft 365 Copilot is doing with its new feature that allows you to capture voice notes in its mobile app.

Think of it like having a digital notepad that not only records what is being said but also helps you make sense of it afterward. It's like turning a messy desk full of papers into a well-organized filing cabinet where you can easily find what you need. With the Copilot app, you can transform offline discussions into structured content that is not only actionable but also searchable. This means you can go back and find specific information quickly, just like using a search engine to find a particular document in a large archive.

For those who use Android or iOS devices, this feature is available on both platforms, making it accessible whether you're using a smartphone or a tablet. It’s like having a universal remote that works with all your devices, ensuring you can capture and organize information no matter where you are or what device you have on hand.

This feature is particularly useful for professionals who are constantly on the go and need to keep track of various discussions and meetings. It helps ensure that nothing important slips through the cracks and that all your conversations are converted into useful data that can be revisited and acted upon later.
