Today I am taking you through the features and functionality we can expect to see released between March 2024 and October 2024 for Copilot Studio.
The PDF file also includes information about Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, Power Virtual Agents, Microsoft Dataverse, Microsoft Power Platform governance and administration, and data integration.
The Microsoft Power Platform features coming in the 2024 release wave 1 have been summarised in a separate release plan as well as a downloadable PDF.
In this set of updates, the key areas of focus for AI Innovation, the configuration changes we can now make, the governance and management of our Copilot Studio solutions.
In conjunction with multilingual bot support, topics and bots that use generative answers can adapt to the current conversation's language to answer questions.
Customers can create their own logic, using Power Fx, to choose which sources to use on a given request (alongside global variables). The copilot will take the request from the copilot user in their given language (and return responses in the user's given language), when generative answers is connected to a data source in that user's language.
Add copilots to Teams meetings
Invite a copilot to your Teams meeting and interact through text, speech, and video. The copilot will use the whole audio conversation, chat transcript, and screen sharing to make your meetings more productive with the help of AI.
You can tell the copilot to do things like "Stop recording," ask about content like “What was the highest value account in the shared spreadsheet,” or use its knowledge to give relevant analysis, such as “Review this code and suggest improvements”
Import and export topics across copilots and environments
Microsoft Copilot Studio is a powerful tool for creators to design advanced conversational assistants using generative AI and traditional methods. As organizations develop and launch more copilots, reusing common elements like topics across different copilots and instances becomes essential.
Copilot Studio allows users to export and import topics between copilots and environments, making it easier to reuse content and speed up the creation of multiple copilots.
Microsoft Copilot Studio helps creators reach their consumer and business audiences through various channels. Working with Azure Communication Services, Copilot Studio now supports WhatsApp, SMS via Communication Services, and Communication Services Chat, a multipoint chat service.
Users can set up an Azure Communication Services resource and integrate it with Microsoft Copilot Studio, enabling their copilot to connect to these new channels.
Hope you all enjoyed this post on the Copilot Studio Release Wave 1 for 2024 updates I will continue this series with some additional content specifically related to the remainder of the Power Platform in the coming weeks. Take Care, and Speak Soon!
