Everything Microsoft announced at its Copilot Wave 2 event
Microsoft is adding Copilot to Excel, PowerPoint, and OneDrive.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the Wave 2 of Copilot and called it “UI for AI” at the Microsoft 365 Copilot: Wave 2 event. Microsoft has made over 700 product updates to Copilot and has added over 150 new features, and Copilot is now powered by OpenAI’s latest GPT-4o model. With the updated version of Copilot, Microsoft is bringing work, web, and pages together and also announced the integration of Copilot on Excel PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneDrive.
Microsoft also introduced Copilot Agents, custom AI assistants optimized to do a specific task without or with very limited human intervention.
Here are all the major announcements from the Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2 event:
Copilot Pages
Microsoft introduced a new service called Copilot Pages for Microsoft 365 subscribers, which can be accessed from the work tab on Copilot. Also known as BizChat, Copilot Pages can pull information from the work data to deliver compelling results with deep insights. The data generated on Copilot Pages can be edited or shared with colleagues. Microsoft says Copilot Pages is meant for multiplayer AI collaboration. Copilot Pages can browse the web to gather useful information.
Copilot in Excel and PowerPoint
Microsoft has integrated Copilot into Excel and PowerPoint. On PowerPoint, Copilot can make suggestions, and generate images, enabling customers to build a new presentation from scratch in just a couple of minutes. Similarly, the Python-backed Copilot on Excel can analyze data and back users with relevant formulas, data visualization, and more. Again, these new features are only available for paid Microsoft 365 subscribers.
Copilot for Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive
Microsoft’s video conferencing platform, powered by Copilot, can now synthesize content for a meeting, summarise content from a meeting, and unlike the other features, these new capabilities will be generally available starting early next month. Similarly, Copilot on Outlook, Microsoft’s email client, can analyze and mark important emails as per the content and provide a summary of emails to help save time. Lastly, OneDrive also gets the power of Copilot, enabling users to quickly find a specific file, and analyze the contents of a file by comparing it with similar files. These features will be rolled out by the end of this month.
