Microsoft Copilot for Teams Will Ask Follow-Up Questions

Microsoft has announced a major change to Copilot in Teams, saying the new feature will use follow-up questions “to keep the conversation going.”

Microsoft has increasingly been integrating its Copilot AI across its platforms and services. In its latest integration with Teams, Microsoft says it is expanding Copilot’s abilities, specifically when it responds to prompts. The company revealed the news in [a Microsoft 365 Roadmap entry](When Copilot in Teams Meetings responds to a prompt, it will also suggest follow ups to keep the conversation going. These questions will generally be based on the response it gave prior, and could be related to honing in on a particular topic, asking for more details, or asking what a particular person said during the meeting.).

These questions will generally be based on the response it gave prior, and could be related to honing in on a particular topic, asking for more details, or asking what a particular person said during the meeting.

Microsoft’s revelation may well fall into the category “just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.” For many, Teams, Slack, and Zoom meetings are a necessary evil, so it’s unclear just how welcome it will be when an AI bot intentionally drags a meeting out.
