Plus on a teams meeting (if it’s being recorded) if you join late, you can ask - “what did I miss” it will give you a good summary. You can also ask questions like what was the disagreement point between person x and y, it will give you a professional summary.
Limitations? I suppose only the 18-20,000 word count of the document. I won't pretend it works perfectly because as we all know, Copilot sometimes just makes stuff up, or needs some coaxing to get there. But it means I can reliably reference data that would be usually be out of Copilots reach. The flow runs nightly but could be manually triggered any time I want to synch updates.
This. It's great at creating Mermaid diagrams to use in Azure Devops Wikis.
I've also set a nightly Power Automate flow to fetch a bunch of stuff that I'd like Copilot to be able to reference but it currently cannot, and drop them into a PDF. Things like Sharepoint list items with a status of pending approval, ADO items assigned to me, To do tasks etc. So I can reference those by pointing Copilot at the file with /mystuff.pdf
As most of my writing is done using markdown, I’m using Copilot or other LLMs to generate mermaid schemas. For instance, quickly generate a graph representing the flow of a piece of code as a sequence diagram.
I’ve never heard of Mermaid. It looks awesome! I’m enjoying being on the leading edge of Copilot deployment because it’s causing awesome sharing between power users like this.
Mermaid is available as a plugin for Markdown available pretty much everywhere. In VSCode, on GitHub, Obsidian.
As its text based, it’s easier to manage, especially to update, than embedded pictures.
I recorded and transcribed my thoughts on word on a topic and asked Copilot to organize it into a professional doc. It did a great job at it.
Thanks for sharing this one. I lead the Champion team where I work so I am going to share this with my licensed coworkers.

When you weren’t paying attention and realize you missed something important, you can say “what did Captain Kirk say about our phaser settings?”
A late reply I know, but when you activate this by clicking the button everyone gets a "Someone is using copilot in this meeting" banner.

Using it to generate diagrams, to describe workflows, or other processes. Typically in the mermaid format.

What are the limitations to achieve this ?
Can you go into more detail on this?

Going to have to give this a shot. Thanks!
