OneDrive gets Copilot AI features like file comparisons and summaries

Microsoft 365 users will now have access to a few more Copilot AI features, as highlighted in this Microsoft OneDrive blog post.

Among other things, it will now be possible to summarize the contents of files and documents that you store on the OneDrive cloud storage platform. You can also ask Copilot questions about the content of a file, compare the contents of different files, and even generate an FAQ (frequently asked questions).

To use the file comparison feature, you’ll need to select the files within File Explorer, and you can compare up to a max of 5 files at once. All the other features are accessible via OneDrive.

Note that these new AI-powered features currently only work with Office documents (such as DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, and XLSX), common file formats (PDF, TXT, and RTF), web files (HTML, HTM), and OpenDocument formats (ODT, ODP). As of this writing, the features do not support images, screenshots, videos, etc.
