Microsoft OneNote 2.0 Is Here With Powerful Copilot Update
The integration of Copilot based on ChatGPT is making great strides at Microsoft. Now, OneNote joins the growing list of Office apps being upgraded with AI capabilities. Features range from summaries to to-do lists.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Assistant: OneNote receives AI support
The “Microsoft 365 Copilot Assistant”, the official name of the AI based on ChatGPT, is becoming part of many products from the Redmond-based group at breakneck speed. After Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint got their AI announcement last month, Microsoft is confirming that Copilot will show up in OneNote soon too. “As a note-taking partner, Copilot uses prompts to create plans, generate ideas, make lists, organize information, and more,” the developers said in the announcement blog post .
As Microsoft explains, one sees the strengths of the generative AI in OneNote above all in the ability to summarize, rewrite, format, and provide visual context to existing texts. The company provides some sample commands and prompts designed to take full advantage of the new capabilities. Some are commands that could also be made directly to ChatGPT, but others require contextual understanding across Microsoft services – the main argument for deep integration.
Example commands for Copilot in OneNote:
- Making a plan for my daughter’s graduation.
- Summarize the notes in bullet points on a new page.
- Create a list of topics and talking points to be covered at an annual investor update meeting.
- Planning a spring trip to Paris for myself, my partner, and my two teenage children.
- I am starting a coffee bean and roast wholesale business. Give me 10 suggestions for a company name and mission statement.
User data is not used for AI training
Microsoft is aware that due to the integration of language models into its products, there is a great deal of skepticism about data protection among users and companies. And so when introducing Copilot for OneNote, one tries to emphasize that the user data is not used for training the AI. “Copilot automatically adopts your company’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft 365,” the developers said.
