Microsoft launched the redesigned Planner app in Teams earlier in April. Since then, the company has been busy adding features, including new functions created specifically for online workers and their managers. Today, Microsoft closes the month by announcing that it is releasing the generative AI assistant Copilot to the new Planner app.

in a blog post, Microsoft stated that Copilot can help users create tasks, goals, and more with just a few text prompts. The post reads:

It starts with setting the right goals and breaking down the work to achieve them. With Copilot in Planner, teams can create and add tasks, goals, and buckets based on user prompts, and even create a full plan that includes these elements. You can ask Copilot to plan your next project and it will start generating the work breakdown.

Copilot can also be used to review a previously defined plan and break it down into smaller tasks, if necessary, and to find which task to work on next. Copilot can also notify users if updates are needed if program developments change.

The new Copilot feature is now available to subscribers of Microsoft’s Project 3 plan, which costs $30 per month per user, or Project Plan 5, which costs $55 per month per user. Businesses and organizations that don’t have the Planner app can check out the Teams public preview to access both the app and the new Copilot features. Final pricing for Copilot on Planner will be revealed when the public preview ends.

Microsoft also plans to add more features to the Planner app in the coming months. They will include improvements to the app’s My Day and My Tasks functions, along with adding Planner’s new UI improvements and its grid view in a basic plan.
