General Availability (Worldwide): We will began rolling out in late February 2025 and expect to complete by mid-April 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

• Explain the contents of the image: Users can select an image in their OneDrive and ask questions to get insights. For example, users can ask to describe what the image is or explain the concepts outlined in the image. Users can also ask Copilot to give insights on the selected image.
• Extract content from images: If the selected image has text, users can ask Copilot to capture the content of the image. For example, if the image is of a whiteboard, Copilot can turn the image into notes that users can take action on.
