Yes, but it is a build project, not a setting. You need something always running, such as a mini PC or cloud server, that records continuously and keeps only a rolling buffer, for example the last five minutes. A wake phrase then triggers a speech-to-text model like Whisper to transcribe that buffer.
- The transcript goes to a chatbot or agent through its API, which summarises it into your notes or calendar.
- It records everyone around you, so check the law and tell people.
- Search for always-on voice assistant with Whisper to find tutorials.

Can Copilot automate searching for Data and emailing people for it?
Partly, and it is a good candidate for an agent. The task splits into a search step and an email step. Until you can build an agent, a notebook with the steps written as its instructions gets you close, or save the prompt in your prompt library and swap the details each time. Always keep a human check.
What is the difference between a Copilot notebook and an Agent?
Very little: notebooks and agents are very similar, and both can still reach everything your Copilot can. The real question is how you want to work. A notebook keeps all its chats and sources together in one place, while agent chats scatter through your chat history.
How do I create a notebook in Copilot?
In Copilot Chat, open Notebooks in the left-hand bar and choose to create a new one. Give it any name and press create. You can skip adding references and start with an empty notebook, then add files, links and instructions later.
