1. Connectors: Seamless Integration Across Your Digital Life
Microsoft Copilot now lets you connect to a wide range of consumer services, including OneDrive, Outlook (email, contacts, and calendar), Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts.

2. Document Creation and Export Directly from Chat
You can now create and export Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs straight from your Copilot chat session. Just ask Copilot to “Export this text to a Word document” or “Create an Excel file from this table,” and it’ll do the rest. For longer responses, an export button appears automatically, making it easy to move AI-generated content into your favourite format.

For example, you can ask, “What’s the email address for Sarah?” or “Find my school notes from last week,” and Copilot will retrieve the information from your connected Microsoft and Google accounts. This bridges data silos and makes Copilot a true productivity hub.
