With so many ways for organisations to use AI in 2024, making sure that you\u2019re up to date with the latest advancements in AI will ensure that you have an edge against the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s sensational AI chat tool \u2014 Microsoft Copilot \u2014 is shaping the way organisations do things. With so many functionalities and tools available with just a simple prompt, it\u2019s making workflows far more efficient while also providing a host of new knowledge and power to the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>As Copilot is integrated into all of the Microsoft 365 applications, in this article, we\u2019ll be going over the top 5 use cases for Copilot within Microsoft Teams, to ensure that you can make the most of your organisation\u2019s communications and collaboration capabilities by empowering them with AI.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Copilot in Microsoft Teams Uses<\/h2>\n<h3>Summarise Meeting Notes<\/h3>\n<p>Microsoft Teams is the epicentre of the workplace meeting. These meetings are vital \u2014 but, the only way you can take advantage of the meeting is by taking what was said in the meeting and applying it. This is why notes are so handy, as they let you turn what is essentially a discussion into an actionable list.<\/p>\n<p>However, taking meeting notes can be a pain. Keeping up with everything that\u2019s been said is difficult, and you might miss key details or even just have notes that are messy and aren\u2019t clear.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Copilot lets you turn your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/office\/get-started-with-copilot-in-microsoft-teams-meetings-0bf9dd3c-96f7-44e2-8bb8-790bedf066b1\">Microsoft Teams meeting into a bunch of summarised notes with just a simple prompt.<\/a> All you have to do is ask \u2014 either during the meeting or afterwards in the recap screen \u2014 with a simple prompt such as \u2018Summarise the meeting in simple notes\u2019, and Copilot will do the rest.<\/p>\n<p>You can also further this by customising your prompts to better suit your needs. For example, if you want to summarise the meeting and create a list of locations mentioned, you can ask Copilot to do so and it will.<\/p>\n<h3>Catch-up when Attending Late<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, being late can be unavoidable. Even the most organised people sometimes get hit by delays, clashes, or even traffic. Microsoft Copilot will easily ensure that you\u2019re able to catch up with what you\u2019ve missed, by summarising it for you so you can ensure that you\u2019re in the loop as you go forward.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is ask Copilot to \u2018summarise the meeting so far, with all the key points\u2019 and it will do so, giving you everything that you need to be involved in the conversation. You can also use Copilot\u2019s meeting recap capabilities afterwards to go over everything that you\u2019ve missed, making sure that you\u2019re clear about everything that was discussed.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Chat to Create Agendas<\/h3>\n<p>As much as post-meeting actions are important, ensuring that your meeting is productive and successful is also vital. This is done by using an agenda \u2014 and Microsoft Copilot helps you make agendas faster than ever.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is ask Copilot to make an agenda for a meeting \u2014 such as \u2018make an agenda for my meeting with Claire about business operations\u2019 \u2014 and it\u2019ll use your organisational data to make an effective agenda.<\/p>\n<p>You can then chat with Copilot to adjust this however you need \u2014 simply just talk to your Copilot to tell them exactly what you want from your agenda, to make sure it\u2019s perfect. By doing so, you can create a much better and more in-depth agenda far more quickly than having to do it yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>Capture and Assign Actions<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned previously, you can use Copilot to summarise meeting notes and ensure that the post-meeting actions are clear. However, you can also use Copilot to capture exactly who is meant to do what action \u2014 and have it presented.<\/p>\n<p>By doing so, everyone is clear about what they need to be doing, meaning the meeting will have been more productive and effective \u2014 and all it takes is a simple prompt.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is ask Copilot to \u2018summarise everyone\u2019s post-meeting actions\u2019 and it will do so, meaning that you can have a clear list of who is meant to do what without having to remember back or relying on notes \u2014 and preventing responsibilities from getting tangled.<\/p>\n<h3>Catch-up on Messages After Leave<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re on company leave, you miss a lot of information. And while you can use your emails and memos to get a good idea of what you\u2019ve missed, you simply miss a lot of the day-to-day conversations. However, going back through missed Teams messages can just take time and be confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Copilot helps with this immensely. You can simply ask Copilot to \u2018summarise everything I\u2019ve missed in the R&amp;D chat since I went on vacation\u2019 and Copilot will do the rest \u2014 giving you a summary of everything that\u2019s happened since you went away.<\/p>\n<p>However, going further than this, you can also ask Copilot if certain things have been discussed or addressed in that time. Simply just ask a question, such as \u2018has the R&amp;D team developed the second prototype name since I went on vacation?\u2019 and Copilot will be able to use its organisational data to be able to work out the answer.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Get Started<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft Copilot is a strong piece of technology that truly enriches Microsoft Teams, and lets you take the capabilities of the premier communications software to the next level.
