They put a copilot button in Outlook. Which, when ask, gladly confesses it doesn't have access to your mail or calendar, completely negating any value it could possibly have.

My personal headcannon is, that it's mostly for telemetrics and KPI scamming, so stakeholders can reap the bonus based on engagement metrics

The same with the AI thing Meta added to Whatsapp. After spending a while trying to search for a message whose exact wording I couldn't remember, but whose content was easily described, I thought I'd give the bot a try. Turns out it doesn't have access to my messages.

I expect MS will get there long before Meta does given they don't have the encryption issue to contend with.
