Improved time-based Copilot responses in Teams chat and channels

TL;DR
Microsoft Teams is enhancing Copilot’s ability to understand and respond to time-related queries using terms like “yesterday”  and  “last month”. Now due mid to late August 2024. 

Details
Microsoft Teams is introducing improvements to Copilot’s understanding of time-related queries. With this update, Copilot will provide more precise responses to prompts like “yesterday,” “last week,” and “last month”.

Previously, Copilot was limited to the last 30 days of data when users asked about longer time periods. After the rollout, Copilot will be able to detect and respond to specific time periods, such as “March”.

A Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 license will be required to use this feature.

Availability
Due early to mid-July 2024. 
Now due mid to late August 2024.
