Microsoft has announced plans to add a new Microsoft 365 Copilot AI assistant to its OneNote software.
The company originally announced plans to implement Copilot in other apps such as Word, Excel, Teams and PowerPoint in March 2022. OneNote is now joining the lineup to showcase the power of AI-powered assistants.
OneNote Product Manager Greg Mace said:
Users can also ask AI to create event plans and generate topics for upcoming meetings. Sounds pretty good.
I’m currently playing around with Microsoft’s AI Copilot for Word. @XenopantherIt should only be available in a “private preview” for “select Microsoft 365 enterprise customers”, but there are a few registry keys here and there to get you basic functionality 👀 pic.twitter.com/TSO1KgnqwH

Microsoft has yet to actually show Copilot within OneNote. Working like Word, users can highlight paragraphs and Copilot will automatically provide the rewritten text.
The tech giant hasn’t revealed an official launch date for Copilots in OneNote, but a handful of Microsoft 365 customers are currently testing preview versions in apps like Outlook and Word.
For now, Microsoft users will have to wait for the company to fix all the issues before the official launch.
