Microsoft’s Copilot Tasks takes care of your to-do list for you

More and more AI tools are now becoming agents, meaning they can perform actions on your behalf. Microsoft really wants to have some fun and hopefully convince users that they should move to Copilot, and they’re doing it with a new agentic AI tool called Copilot Tasks.

Microsoft describes Copilot tasks as a task list that manages all the tasks for you. You can ask Copilot Tasks to take care of recurring tasks, like creating a weekly plan every Monday or selecting the most important emails from your inbox each evening and suggesting responses.

Copilot Tasks will also be able to do things like plan, book, send and collect birthday party invitations, track your paid subscriptions and cancel those you don’t use, and find, compare and book the best craftsmen according to your needs.

Microsoft says these agentic AI features are still a “research preview,” so it may be a while before they actually launch to the general public. If you would like to try an early version of Copilot Tasks, you can join the waiting list.
