Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now generally available for small, mid-sized, and enterprise businesses, including law firms, and corporate legal
DENVER, Jan.18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LawToolBox, a leading provider of deadline management and award-winning creator of legal solutions for Microsoft 365, was the first legal application approved by Microsoft as "Works with Copilot" for Microsoft Teams on December 11, 2023. At the time Copilot for Microsoft 365 was only available to enterprise organizations who agreed to purchase over 300 licenses. With the January 15, 2024 Microsoft announcement that Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now available to small and mid-size businesses, the designation that LawToolBox "Works with Copilot" becomes even more valuable to the legal industry.
During Microsoft's Ignite conference this past November 2023, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella celebrated "the age of the AI copilot" in his opening keynote. "Our vision is pretty straight forward. We are the Copilot company," Nadella said. The goal of Copilot is to amplify Microsoft products with responsible AI to enhance a user's creativity and productivity so they can work not only faster but better. The naming of their AI product as "Copilot" is intended to allay fears that AI will replace a human, but instead it emphasizes that the AI will help people work more efficiently and smarter, much like a copilot in a plane helps the pilot fly better and land safely.
LawToolBox is currently listed as "best selling app" in the Microsoft marketplace. LawToolBox was also highlighted on the backdrop of several presentations during Microsoft Ignite including the opening keynote. Because LawToolBox for Microsoft 365 works with Copilot it surfaces natural language capabilities enabling users to inquire about weekly deadlines, recent matters, and ask questions of other team members through simple conversational inputs.
"LawToolBox Copilot for the legal industry will help a legal professional complete their tasks faster, hold more effective meetings, focus better, and collaborate more efficiently on legal deadlines and documents," says Carol Lynn Grow, Chief Operating Officer of LawToolBox. "When you combine the recently announced LawToolBox AI solution with LawToolBox and M365 Copilot, it is as though you have an incredibly smart assistance invisibly working with you whenever you want to help complete tasks quickly and comply with deadlines efficiently."
LawToolBox AI will not replace legal professionals, but it is instead intended to help those who use this AI to compete against other attorneys and perform their jobs at a high level. LawToolBox will continue to improve and expand its integration with Copilot for Microsoft 365 as the technology and integration points evolve. Further, as Microsoft extends copilot through to Microsoft Bing, Microsoft Team's Meetings, and other solutions, LawToolBox will ensure that LawToolBox for Microsoft 365 continues to work in these environments.
