Outlook will allow users to summarize emails attachments with Copilot

Copilot is already available in Outlook, and you can summarize emails, schedule meetings, and ask the AI model to compose follow-ups; however, it seems that the Redmond-based tech giant is thinking about taking things a bit further.

You’ll soon be able to use Copilot to summarize email attachments in Outlook on the Web and the new Outlook for Windows. According to a recent entry to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, this new enhancement will be coming to the platform in March 2025.

Here’s what Microsoft says:

You will now be able to summarize PDF, Word, and PowerPoint email attachments with Copilot in Outlook on the web and new Outlook for Windows. #newoutlookforwindows

Why does this matter? Well, it saves users a lot of time. You no longer need to read each document thoroughly, especially if you’re in a hurry. You can take a single look and let Copilot come up with a summary of that document.

If you don’t know how to ask Copilot to do that, you’ll soon be able to access the Copilot Prompt Gallery app, which is a new hub that centralizes Copilot prompts for all Microsoft 365 apps.
