As Copilot is coming to Microsoft 365 in November, the AI assistant is also making its way to OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and… OneNote. Yes, Copilot in OneNote is now a reality, starting next month.

The Redmond-based tech says the AI assistant in OneNote will only be available on Desktop platforms for now, according to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

Copilot in OneNote helps you revolutionize the way you plan and organize by staying better prepared and proactively taking action from notes.

So what can you do with Copilot in OneNote? Well, Copilot is not helping users do more in OneNote than it already does in Teams, or Windows 11, for example.

But the Redmond-based tech giant promises the experience of using Copilot in OneNote is more instinctive and it will lead to more productivity, especially when it comes to creative projects.

Copilot in OneNote: All the features

Copilot will be capable of pretty much the same things whether we talk about Teams, OneNote, Windows 11, or any other Microsoft app.

For example, in OneNote, users can work with Copilot to gain deeper insights on their notes. But the AI assistant will also be able to:

  1. Create a to-do list: Copilot will create actionable to-do lists from users’ notes.
  2. Summarize notes: Copilot can summarize a selection of text, page, and section of notes into a shareable format.copilot in onenote
  3. Design a plan: Copilot will be able to create elaborate plans for all kinds of events, from users’ notes. This one can be a very useful feature.
  4. Chat with users
  5. Generate content for users: from replies, emails, and messages to short stories.
  6. Help users write better and clearer.

Now you can gain deeper insights on your notes by asking comprehensive questions, generating summaries of your content, asking Copilot to generate content for you, and helping make your writing clearer.

What do you think about it? Will you use it? Even more, you can get access to new Copilot features, including the one-click summarizing one, by hovering over the icon in the Windows 11 taskbar, not to mention that Copilot’s chat history will be available for a longer period.
