Microsoft has introduced a new tool in Microsoft 365 Copilot to automate repetitive tasks, part of a drive to make the generative AI (genAI) assistant more useful to users. Copilot Actions, announced at Microsoft’s Ignite conference Tuesday, features a simple trigger-and-action interface that Microsoft hopes will make the workflow automations accessible to a wide range of workers.  The company offered up a few examples for Copilot Actions in a blog post. It can be set to create an automatic summary of important action points at the end of the workday, gather inputs from a team for a weekly newsletter, or summarize recent interactions with a client ahead of a meeting. The feature is now in private preview.
