1 00:00:03,150 --> 00:00:06,630 So, Microsoft 365 Copilot keeps getting better, 2 00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:09,210 and today I'll show you how the Copilot experience 3 00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:11,910 is evolving to make everything easier 4 00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:13,830 with new AI-powered capabilities 5 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:16,350 to help you get even more done, 6 00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:17,700 and if you're an IT, 7 00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,220 I'll show you new options for agent management, 8 00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:24,570 including updates in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, 9 00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:26,760 new data security views and controls, 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,050 and Microsoft Purview's 11 00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:30,450 Data Security Posture Management for AI, 12 00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:33,480 as well as improved reporting and visibility 13 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,660 into Copilot analytics from Viva Insights. 14 00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:37,830 So let's start with updates 15 00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:41,580 to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app experience, 16 00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:44,580 which has evolved to make every interaction easier 17 00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:46,110 and more intuitive. 18 00:00:46,110 --> 00:00:48,000 Chat is the core of the experience 19 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,010 and where you'll find the app by default 20 00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:52,530 and there's a new navigation moving what's important 21 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,620 to the left side of your screen where you'll find links 22 00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:00,000 to Search, Chat, your Agents, new Notebooks, 23 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,870 and Create experiences that I'll show you in a moment. 24 00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:06,120 Now moving to the center of the app, you'll notice 25 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,160 that there's a more streamlined view 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,340 with the prompt box taking center stage. 27 00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:13,800 Under that, you'll find personalized suggestions 28 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,310 for what to do next, including upcoming meetings. 29 00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:18,720 And as the author prompts, 30 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,320 you can quickly pull up an agent right from here 31 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:26,490 to bring in content sources you want like your files, 32 00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:29,400 interactions with people, your meetings, emails 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160 and more to generate what you want. 34 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,890 And even without referencing your work directly, 35 00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:36,660 Copilot is connected to it 36 00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:39,270 and can find the matching information 37 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:41,100 that you have access to. 38 00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:45,210 That's because behind the scenes, Microsoft 365 Copilot uses 39 00:01:45,210 --> 00:01:47,790 advanced AI native vector-based search 40 00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:49,560 to find the most relevant content. 41 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,010 And now outside of Copilot Chat, you can use this 42 00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:56,430 directly from the new Copilot Search experience. 43 00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:58,110 It brings together AI search 44 00:01:58,110 --> 00:02:01,350 and your work information across Microsoft Graph. 45 00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:04,320 From here, you can easily get to your recommendations 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,830 and quick access to what you've been working on. 47 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:09,960 Then moving to the search bar, you'll see 48 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,050 that search now goes way beyond keyword search 49 00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:16,140 that you're used to compared to Copilot Chat. 50 00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:19,740 This is optimized to find specific content items. 51 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:22,410 Now, where you can ask in simple terms, for example, 52 00:02:22,410 --> 00:02:26,010 based on what you remember, to quickly find your files, 53 00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:30,450 your emails, chats, and meetings for Microsoft 365, 54 00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:31,590 and even information 55 00:02:31,590 --> 00:02:34,590 and other graph connected line of business systems 56 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:36,930 like you're seeing here with Jira. 57 00:02:36,930 --> 00:02:39,720 Now it knows like-concepts, synonyms, 58 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,530 and contextual information around a topic, so you don't need 59 00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:46,530 to know keywords or be precise with search terms. 60 00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:48,660 In fact, many of these results 61 00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:50,370 don't contain words from the search, 62 00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:52,740 but they're highly relevant. 63 00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:54,810 And based on the top items and the results, 64 00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:56,340 Copilot can summarize 65 00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:59,880 what search finds in line to save you time. 66 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,310 And without having to open its sighted items 67 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:05,880 in separate apps, Copilot will also help summarize 68 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600 and preview those files right from the Copilot app. 69 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,500 Next, we've made it easier to access specialized agents, 70 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,350 which give you on-demand help to complete tasks 71 00:03:16,350 --> 00:03:19,200 that would normally require an expert. 72 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Now these include both Analyst 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,270 to find insights in your data as well as Researcher 74 00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:25,800 for written reports, 75 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,220 both first-of-their-kind reasoning agents for work. 76 00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:33,450 In fact, we dedicated an entire show on reasoning agents 77 00:03:33,450 --> 00:03:37,980 that you can check out at aka.ms/reasoningmechanics. 78 00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:40,890 And here in the navigation you'll also find your pinned 79 00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:43,770 and recently used agents on top. 80 00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:45,690 And clicking into all agents takes you 81 00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:49,080 to the new agent store where you can find more agents 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,010 that are built by Microsoft, also the broader ecosystem, 83 00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:55,860 and your company's own custom agents. 84 00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:58,260 And of course, you can also create your own agents 85 00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:02,070 right from here by describing what you want your agent to do 86 00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:05,040 or configuring it directly with your instructions 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,840 and knowledge sources. 88 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,450 Then beyond agents and AI-generated content 89 00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:11,070 from Copilot Chat, 90 00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:15,030 the new create experience lets everyone tap into powerful 91 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:17,850 and personalized design skills 92 00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:20,430 where you can create images like the samples you're seeing 93 00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:23,730 on the screen here, powered by the GPT 4o Model 94 00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,680 for image generation. 95 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,190 And you can design a poster or flyer like these ones 96 00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:32,550 and they're also great for cover pages to your reports. 97 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:34,560 And speaking of that, from Create, 98 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,850 you can write a stylized draft document using templates 99 00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:40,920 and right from here, you can also upload 100 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,250 and edit your own images to make them stand out 101 00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,810 and select parts of images 102 00:04:45,810 --> 00:04:48,930 to remove distractions like this tree. 103 00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:51,900 Importantly, what sets the Create experience really apart is 104 00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:54,030 that you can use brand templates 105 00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:56,670 and even bring in your company's brand kit, 106 00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:59,400 and these include your approved company logos, 107 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080 fonts, and colors. 108 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520 In fact, let me show you how this works 109 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,100 by creating a new image. 110 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,340 So I'll start by describing what I'm looking for. 111 00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:12,060 I'll choose a picture of this new shoe from my local device 112 00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:16,230 to work from, and now I'll choose my style that matches 113 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:17,763 what I want to create. 114 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,300 Here's where my company brand comes in. 115 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:23,220 I can choose the brand kit I want 116 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:25,713 with the right color palette and icon. 117 00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:28,530 Now this will take a moment to generate 118 00:05:28,530 --> 00:05:31,980 and now I have an image that fits my brand 119 00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:33,960 and I can add to this same image. 120 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,390 I'd like to see a little ground cover in the image. 121 00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:39,210 I'd like to ask for some moss and some rocks. 122 00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:42,150 Then I'll give it a second to render a new image 123 00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:43,320 and it gets even better 124 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,190 with new direct editing options like background removal, 125 00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:49,770 object transform, and enhancements. 126 00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:53,190 I'm going to choose the erase option, then select this rock 127 00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:57,060 and this plant on the right and hit erase. 128 00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:57,893 That's better. 129 00:05:57,893 --> 00:06:00,840 Now, I just need to add a text element 130 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,530 and I'll paste in the shoe name and now it's ready to go 131 00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,830 and I can download the image right from here. 132 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:09,150 And for your bigger projects 133 00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:14,040 and tasks, Copilot Notebooks is then another new capability. 134 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800 These help you bring together all of your relevant content 135 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,980 for your task at hand, including Copilot Chats. 136 00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:22,320 And I'll open this one for Copilot Craft 137 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,840 and you'll see that I can chat with Copilot 138 00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,850 about everything in here, 139 00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:29,070 and it's filled with reference content 140 00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:32,880 and related chat history to keep interactions in scope 141 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,380 to what's here 142 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:38,253 and even create an audio overview of this notebook. 143 00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:41,040 Now the last major update 144 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,120 that I'll show from the Microsoft 365 Copilot app experience 145 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,850 is with personalization and memory. 146 00:06:47,850 --> 00:06:50,040 Where from Copilot settings, 147 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,620 you can specify custom instructions 148 00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,170 and enable Copilot memory. 149 00:06:55,170 --> 00:06:57,660 First, custom instructions let you add details 150 00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:00,120 about your interests, your preferences, 151 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,840 the tone of what you expect from Copilot responses. 152 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,430 Think of this information as something 153 00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:06,480 that will get appended 154 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,660 to your initial prompts in future Copilot sessions 155 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:11,400 to improve its output. 156 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,460 Then, moving back to personalization settings, 157 00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:18,750 Copilot memory works in the same way to recall a handful 158 00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:20,970 of notable memorable items 159 00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:24,000 from previous conversations in real time. 160 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,130 Again, this information sits outside 161 00:07:26,130 --> 00:07:27,630 of the large language model 162 00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:31,140 and is retrieved for future chat sessions. 163 00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:33,570 And you have full visibility and control over 164 00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:35,730 what is maintained in Copilot memory 165 00:07:35,730 --> 00:07:38,070 and can delete what you don't want 166 00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:39,873 to personalize its responses. 167 00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:44,010 Next, I'll move on to updates for IT admins. 168 00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:45,180 We're adding more controls 169 00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:48,300 to the Copilot Control System so that you have the tools 170 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:51,990 that you need to manage, govern, and measure Copilot 171 00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:55,590 and now also agents across your organization. 172 00:07:55,590 --> 00:07:58,230 You can now manage the agents and agent deployment 173 00:07:58,230 --> 00:08:01,800 right from Microsoft 365's admin center. 174 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,080 Here you'll see a list of agents in use 175 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120 and the ones you've blocked. 176 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,740 Also, apps where the agents are supported and usage details. 177 00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:13,230 You can also deploy agents from here as well, 178 00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:16,230 scoping the right users and groups. 179 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,000 Next, we're also adding more insights 180 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,960 and controls for data security with AI apps and agents 181 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000 and Microsoft Purview. 182 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,410 The new AI apps and agents page 183 00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:28,290 in Data Security Posture Management for AI 184 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:31,920 gives you a single dashboard to view and create policies 185 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,380 for your AI apps and agents, 186 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,840 where you'll find coverage for data protection 187 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,140 and compliance policies that you already have in place, 188 00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:42,420 and clicking into any of these items, 189 00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:44,280 lets you discover more insights, 190 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,540 including potentially risky interactions, inappropriate use, 191 00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:51,630 as well as sensitive information being shared. 192 00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:53,580 And finally, for reports that you can share 193 00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:56,730 beyond your administrator and data security teams, 194 00:08:56,730 --> 00:08:59,580 using Copilot Analytics and Viva Insights, 195 00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:01,410 you can measure the usage 196 00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:04,020 and business impact of your agents. 197 00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:05,640 And direct from Viva Insights, 198 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,850 the new Copilot Studio agents report can be shared
