Microsoft is launching a new application called Places, which will offer employees and organizations balancing home and in-office work a better way to figure out who is where, and when.

Microsoft Places is an AI-powered app that goes into preview today and should help businesses that rely on Outlook and Microsoft Teams to better coordinate in-office time together.

Today Microsoft announced the public preview launch of Places, a new app a couple years in the making that aims to use AI to assist teams in syncing their in-office time.

Microsoft plans to integrate Places data with its Copilot generative AI (genAI) assistant later this year, the company said in a blog post Monday.
