Microsoft is improving Copilot with Actions, Agents, and more tools. PowerPoint and Outlook will be getting more AI features, alongside other Copilot tools.

At Microsoft’s Ignite conference today the software giant is introducing Copilot Actions, a new way for Microsoft 365 Copilot users to automate repetitive tasks. Microsoft is also adding AI agents to SharePoint, allowing PowerPoint to translate entire presentations, and improving how Copilot works in Outlook to find the best time for meetings. Copilot Actions, now in private preview, enables anyone to automate repetitive everyday tasks.

PowerPoint’s Copilot Narrative Builder will also take cues from branded templates, speaker notes, and built-in transitions and animations to create a better first draft of a presentation. Copilot will also be able to use images from SharePoint to integrate into PowerPoint presentations. Copilot in Excel will soon include a new start experience that suggests templates with headers, formulas, and visuals to get a spreadsheet created.
