How this will affect your organization:

After this rollout, users of Copilot in Forms can specify their goal and deadline, and have Copilot track the form’s progress. Forms can notify users through email when it’s time to send a reminder or when insights are ready so users can easily continue their analysis with Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel.

Copilot suggests invitations and can track progress against the user’s goal and deadline:
