Microsoft has introduced Copilot Tasks, a new AI system aimed at simplifying daily tasks by offloading them to a cloud-based computer and browser, as reported by The Verge. This feature allows users to delegate a variety of responsibilities such as scheduling appointments, creating study plans, and more, while they focus on other activities.
With Copilot Tasks, users can communicate their needs using natural language and specify whether tasks should be completed routinely, on a schedule, or as a one-time assignment. Once the AI assistant finishes its assigned duties, it delivers a comprehensive report of its activities.
Copilot can handle a range of tasks, including organizing subscriptions, converting email content into a presentation, identifying urgent emails, composing responses, planning events like birthday parties, and tracking real estate listings. Microsoft emphasizes that Copilot Tasks will seek permission before executing significant actions like sending messages or making payments.
Currently available in a research preview for a limited test group, interested users can sign up for the waiting list on Microsoft’s website to explore the capabilities of Copilot Tasks.
