Imagine you're in a courtroom, and instead of reading through a mountain of documents, you have a trusty assistant who can quickly summarize the key points for you. This is similar to what Microsoft 365 Copilot is doing for your emails in Outlook. With just a single click, Copilot can provide a concise summary of your emails, saving you time and helping you focus on what's important.

Think of Copilot as a personal assistant who understands your needs and helps you manage your inbox more efficiently. It's like having someone who reads through all your correspondence and gives you the highlights, so you don't have to wade through every detail yourself. This feature is available to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and is designed to work seamlessly in both the Classic and New Outlook for Windows.

This change is akin to having a digital assistant that can work across different devices and platforms, whether you're on a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet. It's like having a versatile team member who can adapt to different environments and still deliver the same level of support. As this feature becomes generally available, it will help streamline your workflow and keep you organized, much like a well-prepared legal team ready for a case.
