What Do You Want Microsoft Copilot to Remember?
AI is increasingly becoming part of the daily workflow in businesses. Tools like Microsoft Copilot can summarise emails, draft documents, and answer questions, helping teams save time and work more efficiently.
However, until now, Copilot has had a significant limitation: it doesn’t remember much about the user. Each session begins as if you’re interacting with it for the first time. This protects privacy but also limits the AI’s ability to provide a personalised experience.
Introducing Memory Management in Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft is now changing this with the introduction of memory management in Copilot. This update gives users more control over what the AI remembers.
Explicit memory control: You can tell Copilot to “remember this” for future interactions.
Memory overview page: An upcoming update will include a dedicated page where you can see everything Copilot has stored.
Edit or delete anytime: Users can review, update, or remove stored information whenever needed.
By giving users visibility and control, Microsoft is striking a balance between convenience, personalisation, and privacy.
What This Means for Productivity
Memory management can make AI far more useful in a business context. When Microsoft Copilot remembers relevant information, it can:
Provide context-aware suggestions and recommendations.
Reduce repetitive work by recalling prior instructions or preferences.
Help teams collaborate more effectively by retaining relevant details across projects.
Minimise errors caused by repeating instructions or losing context between sessions.
For businesses, these improvements translate into faster workflows, smarter decision-making, and better use of time.
Balancing Convenience and Control
The key question this update raises is: how much do you want AI to remember about you? Microsoft is putting the choice firmly in your hands. With clear memory controls, you can enjoy the benefits of personalised AI support without sacrificing privacy.
This development marks a significant step toward AI that is not only helpful but also transparent and user-driven—an important consideration for businesses that rely on technology while maintaining trust and data security.
