Copilot ad about copying coworker
Archived — this story has rotated out of today’s deck. It is kept here in full.
The gist
Microsoft videos show Copilot taking over tasks like copying a coworker's message and summarizing notifications.
The clips show how AI assistants are moving into everyday office workflows.
Background
Microsoft is the company behind Copilot, its AI assistant, and the newer Copilot Cowork and Copilot Code products. The material centers on short videos: a staged, humorous workplace clip posted by the Microsoft Africa account, and a separate video from Bestnet Services Ltd showing Copilot inside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Microsoft documentation says Copilot Chat can use content already open in apps like Teams and Outlook instead of requiring users to copy and paste or upload files, and that Copilot Cowork runs multi-step tasks across email, calendar, Teams and files on the user's behalf.
