OneDrive gets Copilot AI features like file comparisons and summaries

Microsoft 365 users will now have access to some additional Copilot AI features, as highlighted in this Microsoft OneDrive blog article.

Among other things, it will now be possible to summarize the content of the files and documents that you store on the Cloud Onedrive storage platform. You can also ask Copilot questions about the content of a file, compare the content of different files and even generate a FAQ (frequently asked questions).

To use the file comparison function, you will need to select the files in Explorer file, and you can compare to a maximum of 5 files at a time. All other features are accessible via OneDrive.

Note that these new features fed by AI currently only work with office documents (such as Docx, PPT, PPTX and XLSX), common file formats (PDF, TXT and RTF), web files (HTML, HTM) and OpenDocument formats (ODT, ODP). To date, features do not support images, screenshots, videos, etc.
