Microsoft is introducing a new feature called Copilot to Outlook mobile, which will be available for users with the appropriate Microsoft 365 license. This feature is expected to roll out between early August and early September 2024. Think of Copilot as a helpful assistant that you can chat with directly within your Outlook app on your phone, much like having a personal assistant who can help you manage your emails and calendar without needing to leave the app.
Imagine you're at a busy law firm or managing a team, and you have a personal assistant who sits right next to you. This assistant helps you sort through your mail, reminds you of meetings, and answers questions you might have about your schedule or tasks. Copilot in Outlook mobile works similarly, but it's digital and integrated into your phone's email app. It will appear as a new module next to your Mail and Calendar tabs, or in the Apps section if you've customized your layout.
This update will happen automatically, so there's no need for any technical setup or administrative action. However, it might be a good idea to inform your team about this new feature so they can take full advantage of it. You might also want to update any internal guides or documentation to reflect this change, ensuring everyone knows how to use Copilot effectively.
Overall, this addition aims to make managing your emails and schedule more efficient, allowing you to focus on more important tasks without getting bogged down by the details.
