Key Takeaways:
Microsoft has officially launched the preview of its Copilot AI assistant in OneNote for Mac and iPad. Copilot in OneNote is currently rolling out to commercial customers on the Beta Channel and requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
Microsoft 365 Copilot launched in public preview back in December 2023. The AI assistant is currently available as an add-on on top of a Microsoft 365 commercial subscription, and it costs $30 per user per month.
“With Copilot in OneNote for iPad and Mac, you can handle tasks faster and more efficiently. Copilot is by your side, embedded in OneNote and other Microsoft 365 apps you use every day. It helps you unleash the power of AI to generate higher productivity, more creativity, and leveled-up skills,” Microsoft explained.
To try out Copilot in OneNote, Microsoft 365 customers will need to follow the steps mentioned below:
Microsoft is working to address two limitations for the Copilot integration in OneNote for iPad and Mac. Currently, Copilot in OneNote doesn’t support the voice input feature on iPad. Moreover, the AI assistant is unable to analyze all the content within a OneNote notebook to provide suggestions. It can only use the context of a specific section or page.
Microsoft says that users will need to join the Office Insider program to test this new Copilot experience in OneNote for iPad or Mac. It’s available for Beta Channel users running OneNote for Mac or iPad version 16.90 or later. Microsoft plans to bring this feature to consumers with a Copilot Pro subscription in the coming months.
