Microsoft’s Copilot: An Expanding Suite of AI Features
Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, is becoming increasingly integral to various workflows across multiple devices. Recently, the tech giant integrated Copilot into Samsung TVs and smart monitors, launched Copilot for Azure within Visual Studio, and provided updates to its dedicated Windows app. The company is preparing to unveil additional features that will enhance user experience further.
New Features on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap
In the past week, Microsoft has significantly updated its public Microsoft 365 Roadmap, revealing a host of new functionalities linked to Copilot. A notable enhancement is the integration of interactive Bing web answer cards, which will provide responses to queries about stocks and weather. This dual-purpose feature is tagged as ID 500865, with a release date set for November 2025.
Enhanced Accessibility for Small Businesses
Small businesses will benefit from a change tracked as ID 501581, which allows access to the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard without needing 50 licenses to monitor adoption trends in Copilot Chat Insights. This adjustment is also expected in November 2025, making Copilot’s analytics more accessible.
Improvements to OneDrive Experience on Mobile
The mobile experience for the OneDrive file browsing within the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is on the verge of important improvements. Users will be redirected to the OneDrive app for advanced functions such as folder navigation, permission adjustments, and downloading files. However, recent files can still be searched and viewed directly in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Significant enhancements related to document creation via prompts are also anticipated, with feature IDs 501277 and 500632 expecting rollouts in October and September 2025, respectively.
Enterprise Features Set to Launch
For enterprise customers, new capabilities in Copilot Chat will allow users to generate prompts regarding meetings based on RSVP statuses. For instance, users may request a list of all events they have not responded to. This feature, assigned ID 499429, is expected to be available next month. Furthermore, organizations will soon have the option to reference a Loop or Page when generating PowerPoint presentations with Copilot, indicated by IDs 500862-4.
Upcoming Changes in September
September will be eventful for Copilot users, as Microsoft plans to facilitate launching the dedicated Copilot app directly from the Copilot Chat pane within Microsoft 365 apps (ID 500866).Additionally, Copilot Chat will be introduced to Teams, integrating into chats, calls, and meetings (ID 501107).
Inclusive AI Tools for Government Customers
Government Community Cloud (GCC) customers will also gain access to advanced Generative AI capabilities through Copilot, enabling the creation of images, posters, forms, and infographics that align with official branding. These features are anticipated to roll out in the coming days. However, it is essential to remember that the features and timelines outlined in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap are subject to change, so plans may evolve.
