Two new updates to Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word: Smarter Creation and Researcher agent

What’s New in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word Microsoft continues to evolve its Copilot capabilities in Word, bringing powerful new features that enhance productivity and streamline workflows. Two newly announced updates are rolling out this fall: First out of the gate is the integration of the Researcher Agent, allowing great content generation within Word itself. The second update is bringing more of the search and creation capabilities we have in Chat directly into Word. These updates represent a meaningful step toward closing the functionality gap between Copilot in Word and Copilot Chat. For me, this is a most welcomed improvement, making it easier for end users to get the results they want even faster, with less friction and more flexibility. Deep Research with the New Researcher Agent in Word Not too long ago, Microsoft introduced the Researcher agent in Copilot Chat, but moving and editing that content required copy/paste and jumping between applications.

Saving and sharing prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat coming soon.

A new and awaited feature is about to start rolling out for Microsoft Copilot licensed users. Users will soon be able to save, edit and manage their own prompts from Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat (BizChat). A prompt that is saved in BizChat can later be edited and managed in Copilot Lab. 

The feature is associated with this roadmap item, and should start rolling out mid or late November.

Also associated with the same Roadmap Item is the news of sharing prompts with your colleagues. Both features will be on by default, but I highly recommend organizations to update their training material and help users get the most out of Copilot.
