How can Copilot support me during brainstorming?

You’re in a meeting, and the ideas just aren’t coming. With Copilot, you can generate suggestions to kick off your brainstorming. The more precise your prompt, the better the results. With just one click on “Insert (x),” the ideas appear as sticky notes right on your Whiteboard. From there, you can easily build on Copilot’s ideas—all within the same Whiteboard you’re already working in.

How can Copilot take work off my plate in Whiteboard?

After an intense brainstorming session or a team retrospective, you’re often left with the challenge of organizing all the ideas you’ve collected. Thanks to Copilot’s “Categorize” function, no one on your team has to sacrifice their break to cluster the ideas anymore. Copilot does the sorting for you, saving your team valuable time.

Summarizing results with Copilot in Loop

At the end of a session, it’s important to summarize the outcomes and make them accessible to everyone. With Copilot, you can instantly create a summary in a Loop component on your Whiteboard, which is automatically shared with everyone who has access to the board. That way, even people who weren’t present can quickly see what was discussed and what action items came out of it. As a team, you can continue to track those tasks in Loop and reuse the component—for example, by embedding it directly into a recurring meeting invite.
