Planner Agent Chat

Microsoft Planner now has a built-in Copilot chat for asking about tasks and updating them in plain language.

  • Open it from the Copilot icon in the bottom right corner of Planner.
  • Ask questions about the plan in natural language, such as "Show me tasks due this week."
  • It surfaces the relevant tasks and can update task status or filter your view from a chat command.
  • Available in Planner on Windows and the web.

Best for

Checking and updating a project plan without clicking through filters and menus.
