Copilot for your meetings
We have been trying out various tools that Microsoft have been releasing to get a feel of difficult or easy they are to setup and use, and what the benefits are. In particular, we have been using the Copilot Teams AI functionality. This allows us to have a recording and transcript, as well as creating meeting summaries with action points. It is something that we think pretty much every business can get benefits from these tools. Please contact us to discuss licensing and how you can get set up.
