365 Copilot x MF/UMM PE Firms

There's a thread over on the IB forum about Microsoft's upcoming AI tool "Copilot," but I'm curious if anyone thinks large-scale PE firms will incorporate the tool in their workflows in the near term since there are fewer compliance hurdles than banks. Copilot integrates with the rest of Office 365, so it has some compelling features: transcribing and summarizing Teams calls, utilizing notes and previous pptx slide templates to create a new deck, and bringing all the features of large language models within the enterprise in an attempt to alleviate security risk. 

I don't think it's advanced enough to totally take on the role of the junior level (namely, excel applications don't seem robust enough), but surely this would cut down on the busy work.
