Planner Agent chat
If you use Microsoft Planner to track team tasks, you can now just ask it questions in plain English, like what is due this week, instead of hunting through filters and views. It is a quicker way to stay on top of project status without learning Planner's full interface.
What changed
Source summary
Microsoft added Planner Agent chat (Windows and Web), letting users ask natural-language questions about their tasks and plans. Copilot finds relevant tasks based on the query and lets users update or manage tasks through conversational commands instead of manually navigating and filtering views.
