Short Version
Imagine creating a scheduled Copilot prompt and having some automation applied to the output, such as sharing it in a Teams post or sending it to you in an email. In simple terms, that’s the new AI workflows. Due mid to late October 2025.
Details
AI Workflows are part of the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams. They will provide automation templates that include scheduled Copilot prompts and automation that does something with the output of the prompt. For example, you might want Copilot to help you prepare for the day ahead, and you want the output emailed to you at 7.30 am each morning.
