It’s been a few months since Microsoft releasedCopilot to Outlook, but the Redmond-based tech giant is already looking into making it essential to the platform, beyond its summarizing capabilities.

How? Well, according to the latest entry to theMicrosoft 365 Roadmap, the new Outlook for Windows, Mac, Web, and Mobile, will allow Copilot to schedule meetings right out of your emails.

So, that means Copilot will take a look at your emails, and if anything about a potential meeting is mentioned, the AI tool will take it upon itself to fix a meeting for you. Smart, right?

You’ll have to do one thing, though, and that is: you’ll have to click on a special option calledSchedule with Copilot. This will allow the AI tool to come up with potential dates for a meeting.

And not just dates. Copilot will generate potential titles for the meeting, an agenda, a conversation summary that includes important keynotes, a pre-filled attendee list, and an attachment of the original email thread.

Often you may want to transition a conversation from an email thread to a meeting. Copilot helps you do this by being able to start scheduling right from the email conversation. It saves you time and effort by generating a meeting invite that’s ready for you to review and send. When you click on “Schedule with Copilot” a meeting form will appear with a Copilot generated meeting title, agenda, and conversation summary as well as a pre-filled attendee list from the email thread and an attachment of the original email thread. This feature will be available in the new Outlook for Windows, web, Mac, and mobile.

The feature will be released in a preview period in March 2024, and then it will be widely released to the general public in May. As we mentioned earlier, it will only be available to the new Outlook, even though Copilot is onclassic Outlook, as well.
