Here is a feature I didn't realize was already out there, but scheduling meetings with Copilot in the new Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web is released. This feature, part of the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 372895, is designed to help you quickly and easily schedule meetings or events directly from an email thread.

Schedule with Copilot allows users to create a meeting invitation by simply clicking a button in the Outlook toolbar. It automatically includes participants from the email conversation, drafts a meeting title, agenda, and a summary of the conversation so far, and attaches the original email thread for reference. This feature ensures that all relevant information is included in your meeting invitations, saving you time and reducing the chance of missing important details.

The feature was turned on by default.
