Creating Human-like Audio Conversations with CoPilot

Posted on by

CoPilot from Microsoft allows educators to design dynamic audio experiences from self-selected content. Educators choose materials, load them to Copilot, and then create an audio overview. The resulting audio sounds like two human podcast hosts discussing the content. Here’s a sample of the podcast hosts discussing the Robots for Everyone Initiative and a transcript of the podcast. Once created, educators can save the audio file to Onedrive and then download it to share with learners.

A screenshot of a dark-themed workspace in Microsoft Copilot Notebook. At the top, the notebook title reads “Robots for Everyone” accompanied by a small robot emoji and a button labeled “Play audio.” Under the title, links appear that say “Add Copilot instructions” and “Tell Copilot how to respond in this notebook.”A large input box is centered below the title with the prompt text “Ask Copilot about your references or another topic for this notebook.” A microphone icon appears on the right side of the box. Directly beneath are two buttons: “Summarize my notebook” and “Suggest 3 questions for this notebook.” Lower on the page are two tabs: References (selected) and Chats. Within References, a circular button labeled “All” is highlighted, followed by a button labeled “+ New page.” A listed reference appears below titled “Robots for Everyone 🤖 2025 – 2026” with a small document icon and a timestamp that says “1h ago.” In the bottom right corner of the screenshot, a floating media player shows the same project title “Robots for Everyone 🤖,” a progress indicator (18:42/18:42), playback speed controls, and a button labeled “Open in OneDrive.” A small note below the player reads, “AI-generated content may be incorrect.”
