PowerPoint: Async Notifications for PowerPoint Agent (Web)

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in PowerPoint will now provide asynchronous notifications, allowing users to close the app or switch devices while Copilot continues processing. This changes how users interact with AI-generated content and the potential for data exposure.

The Impact

End-users are affected by new notification behaviors, creating a low security risk related to data context and user awareness.

  • End-users: May receive notifications out of context, leading to potential misinterpretation.
  • Security Teams: Need to ensure users understand data handling with asynchronous AI interactions.

The Action

  1. Review existing user training materials for Copilot to include asynchronous notification behavior.
  2. Communicate to end-users about how Copilot notifications will now function across devices and offline states.
