New in May: Create in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app

Updated May 22, 2025

Creating content with AI just got a whole lot easier. This week we began rolling out an updated Create experience in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to Microsoft 365 commercial customers, empowering them to unlock AI’s full potential in the creative process. Create will become generally available to commercial customers worldwide over the coming weeks.

Enhancing Ideation and Execution

We’ve entered a pivotal new era of work.

In our recently published Work Trend Index, we highlighted the rise of “Frontier Firms”— organizations that are rapidly reshaping its competitive edge by moving from experimenting with AI to making it a core element of how they operate. A key insight? Creativity and productivity are no longer separate lanes; the most effective teams are those that harness AI to seamlessly blend ideation and execution.

While AI is recognized as a powerful tool for generating everything from writing and visuals to audio and video, many people still hesitate: What should I create? How do I make sure the results are meaningful and high quality? Create addresses these challenges head-on. It’s a streamlined, intuitive interface that simplifies every stage of content creation, helping anyone—not just experts—quickly turn ideas into polished, impactful outputs with Copilot’s support.

In a year when leading organizations are defining the new frontier of AI-powered work, Create ensures your team has the tools—and the confidence—to stay ahead. Create opens new possibilities of what you can create in an intuitive and efficient way.

Create reduces the cognitive load of deciding where and how to start your creative work.

Visual artifacts: Generate and edit images, digital posters, and banners for emails, Teams announcements, and SharePoints.

Videos: Transform a prompt or PowerPoint presentation into a complete video—Copilot will generate a script, select relevant stock media, and add visuals, titles, transitions, and voiceovers. Streamlining video creation while boosting engagement and improving information comprehension

Text artifacts: Draft virtually any type of text artifact including strategy documents, emails, blog posts, FAQs, and more—then collaborate with others in Pages until you are ready to export your content to Word, Outlook, or wherever you intend to use your text.

Forms: Produce surveys, quizzes, and polls to help you get the data and insights you need to inform your work.

Simple Tools for High-Quality Content

Many understand AI can be a powerful content creation tool but often feel unsure about how to use it effectively. Create addresses this challenge with a variety of unique features anyone can use including:

Impressive AI-generation: Ensure your content is high-quality with powerful LLMs such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o for image generation, and tailored to your work with data grounded by the Microsoft Graph and files uploaded by you.

Prompt templates: Get the outcome you are looking for with prompt templates, which provide the foundation for writing a great prompt using natural language, and dropdown boxes to select the style, branding, and dimensions you need.

Brand kits: Consistently apply the proper colors, fonts, logos, imagery, and tone of voice to your work with brand kits loaded by your organization or created by you.

AI-generative editors: Get AI-powered assistance to quickly make fundamental changes such as style, tone, or color scheme; or use AI to make sophisticated adjustments such as changing the background or removing an object from an image.

Standard editing tools: Fine tune your work without going through additional AI generations with built-in tools that make it easy to edit text, add effects, and move content around.
