Microsoft's new AI Copilot to land on OneNote in November

Microsoft will introduce its new Microsoft 365 Copilot assistant into OneNote in November. This Copilot version, which was first unveiled earlier, will be able to generate lists, draft plans, rewrite notes, and more. According to Microsoft 365's roadmap entry, Microsoft 365 Copilot will be launched on November 1 to certain commercial and enterprise plans of Microsoft 365 customers, with OneNote being one of the applications included in this release. Over the past six months, a small portion of Microsoft 365 enterprise customers have been testing this new Copilot system in applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In July, Microsoft announced plans to charge users $30 per month to access Copilot once it is launched in November. While this price may be relatively high, Microsoft believes that this feature will fundamentally change the way Office documents are created. Copilot in OneNote will appear in the app's home tab and will be displayed as a sidebar on the right. It will be able to summarize pages, sections of notes, and even the text you select. Copilot can also create to-do lists from your notes, develop plans for activities and meetings, and even answer questions like a chatbot. Microsoft also plans to introduce its Copilot system into the consumer version of Microsoft 365 next year. Considering the number of students and consumers using OneNote, it can be imagined that it will be one of the first applications to receive the consumer-side Copilot feature. OneDrive will also undergo a major overhaul in the future, integrating with Copilot.
