Imagine you're at a large conference with multiple speakers and sessions. You want to remember the key points from each session, but taking notes for everything can be overwhelming. Now, think of Microsoft Copilot as your personal assistant at this conference. After each session, Copilot provides you with a summary of what was discussed. But here's the twist: you can tell Copilot exactly how you want these notes to look.

With the new feature in Microsoft 365, users can customize AI-generated meeting notes to fit their personal style or needs. It's like having a digital notepad that not only takes notes for you but also formats them in a way that makes the most sense to you. For instance, if you prefer a brief overview, you might choose the "Executive Summary" option, which highlights only the most crucial points. On the other hand, if you want to know what each speaker said, you could select the "Speaker Summary" option.

Moreover, if you have a specific way you like your notes organized, you can create and save your own template. It's similar to setting up a playlist for your favorite songs; once you've created it, you can use it over and over again. This means every time you have a meeting, your notes will be formatted just the way you like them, without any extra effort on your part.

This feature is available across various platforms, whether you're using a desktop or a Mac, and it's designed to make your work life a bit easier by ensuring you have the information you need, presented in the way you prefer. It's like having a customizable toolkit for your meetings, allowing you to focus on the discussion rather than the note-taking process.
