Copilot Tasks: Microsoft’s AI-augmented to‑do list that does it for you
Microsoft announced Copilot Tasks, a new AI feature that turns natural-language prompts into fully formed, auto‑generated to‑do lists and then acts across your calendar, emails, files, and other apps. It supports recurring, scheduled, and one‑off tasks, and can generate study plans from syllabi, convert emails into slide decks, plan events, book services, unsubscribe from mail, and more. Importantly, it requires user consent before taking meaningful actions (e.g., sending messages or spending money) and can pause or cancel tasks at any time. Currently in limited research preview with a waitlist for broader access, Copilot Tasks aims to move Copilot from a chat tool to a hands‑free “do” tool, potentially versus Copilot Actions which operate in front of you.
