Introducing Copilot-Powered Themes in Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook continually evolves to cater to its users, and the latest enhancement is the innovative Themes by Copilot. Unveiled today, this feature leverages advanced generative AI, enabling users to craft personalized themes that reflect their unique preferences, such as geographical location and current weather conditions.

Personalization at Your Fingertips

With over 100 curated destinations to choose from, users can easily derive inspiration for their new theme. Alternatively, they have the option to create a theme tailored exclusively to their own location. A notable feature of this update is the flexibility it offers in theme refreshing; users can select update frequencies varying from every few hours to once a month, allowing for dynamic email backgrounds that evolve with the user’s context.

Accessibility and Compatibility

The dynamic themes generated by Copilot will be accessible to those holding a Copilot Pro subscription or a commercial license with Microsoft 365 Copilot enabled. This exciting feature will work seamlessly across various platforms, including Outlook for Windows, Mac, web, and mobile applications on both iOS and Android.

Expert Insights from Microsoft

Astha Benisek from Microsoft stated, “Every Copilot-generated theme automatically comes with a fun accent color, and you can further tune your theme to be in a realistic, oil painting, or cartoon style. To help you shape your theme, we created a guided experience that is easy to use, responsible, and fun. Copilot-powered themes are available in the languages that Outlook supports. No two Themes by Copilot in Outlook are the same. Every creation is unique, dynamic, and exclusively yours — an experience only available on Outlook.”

Additional Theme Options

In conjunction with the introduction of Copilot-powered themes, Microsoft has also expanded its collection of new non-Copilot themes. Users can now enjoy vibrant imagery characterized by rich shades of deep green, red, and purple, further enhancing their customization options.

Getting Started with Themes by Copilot

For users eager to start personalizing their Outlook environment with Copilot themes, access is straightforward. Simply navigate to the Appearance Settings within any of the compatible Outlook applications after subscribing to the Copilot service. This feature promises a more engaging and individualized email experience for Outlook users.
