Healthcare edition
OneNote on Windows can record and summarize with Copilot, but the launch moves to the end of November 2026 instead of the end of October.
OneNote will record and summarize meetings, but a month later than planned
Microsoft is adding a new feature to Copilot Notebooks in OneNote on Windows. You capture audio, video and notes in one place. Microsoft 365 Copilot then makes an overview from them with a summary, decisions and action items.
The launch is later than planned: late November 2026 instead of late October. The feature is on by default for people who are allowed to use it. For that you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, a work or school account and the Microsoft 365 apps on Windows.
For you, this means that after a meeting you have a summary with action items, without writing a report yourself. OneNote can suggest recording a meeting by itself. Recording or transcribing conversations with other people requires their consent. So first check what your employer's policy says before you start a recording.
Background for subscribersIf you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, OneNote can record a meeting and make a summary of it with decisions and action items. OneNote can suggest a recording itself when it recognizes a meeting in the browser, such as Zoom, Webex or Google Meet. The feature is on by default for people who are allowed to use it, but administrators can turn it off.
JAMA: what questions healthcare providers ask AI
An article in JAMA looked at 271 million questions from 952,008 US healthcare providers. For doctors, 33.1 percent of the questions were about treatment and care policy. For 13.9 percent, they were about diagnosis. So these tools are used for the core of the work. The study does not say whether the answers were correct or whether care improved as a result. For healthcare providers, this means the demand for AI help already exists, even if there are no agreements yet on what you may enter.
