The Prioritize my inbox feature in Copilot in Outlook helps users to better manage their daily e-mails, directing them to important e-mails that need their immediate attention, providing summaries of long messages, and even offering explanations on why it prioritized certain e-mail chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting the critical role that customer feedback has played in the new wave of updates,<strong>Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President, AI at Work, Microsoft<\/strong>,said: \u201cIt\u2019s been just 18 months since we launched Microsoft 365 Copilot. In that time,&nbsp;we\u2019ve been more deeply engaged with our customers than ever before \u2013 in what\u2019s become the world\u2019s best feedback loop for AI.Nearly&nbsp;1,000 customers&nbsp;have given us feedback on how they\u2019re using Copilot, where it is having the biggest impact, and where it needs to be better. Based on that feedback, we have made more than&nbsp;700 product updates&nbsp;and shipped over&nbsp;150 new features&nbsp;this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor millions of people around the world, work happens in the Microsoft 365 apps,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s where Copilot is already becoming a daily habit, delivering personal productivity gains and time savings. And with Wave 2, we\u2019re taking everything we\u2019re learning from our customers and using it to make Copilot even better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further support organizations as they customize AI for their business\u2019 specific needs and processes, Microsoft has also announced the general availability of Copilot Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
