Anything you can say to me, you can say to Clippy.

Finally, AI might be able to completely solve a problem for me.

There are, famously, too many meetings that could just have been emails. Now, AI will take those meetings for you. 

Microsoft 365 Copilot — an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT — will be able to summarize your Teams meetings if you don't attend. Of course, you won't be able to do what you do in meetings, like react to your coworkers, ask questions, or, and this might be the most important part of meetings, create meaningful relationships with your peers. 

Copilot can also summarize email threads and suggest action items, replies, and follow-up meetings and draft emails, create documents, and make Powerpoint presentations. The tool will become available on November 1 and will be integrated into subscribers’ Microsoft 365 apps for an additional charge of $30 per user per month.

In a blog post in March, Satya Nadella, the Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, said Copilot will "fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth."

"With our new copilot for work, we’re giving people more agency and making technology more accessible through the most universal interface — natural language," Nadella said.

Talk about quiet quitting.
