Copilot features in Viva Glint

Copilot Highlights

Copilot Highlights generates structured summaries of your survey results directly within Viva Glint reports. A collapsible card appears at the top of supported reports (Team Summary and Executive Summary) and surfaces key insights at a glance, with no prompts needed.

Copilot Highlights may include up to three sections:

  • Overview and key outcomes – Response rate, key outcome score, and top strengths
  • Team scores – Breakdown by hierarchy or attribute, largest increases and decreases, and highest and lowest scoring teams
  • Your top opportunities – Up to three opportunity items with scores, benchmark comparisons, and pattern classifications

Sections or portions of sections may be hidden depending on data availability. For more information, see Copilot Highlights in Viva Glint.

Comment summarization

Comment summarization helps you explore the "why" behind your scores by analyzing open-ended employee feedback. Through an interactive chat experience, you can ask questions about your survey comments and receive AI-generated summaries grouped by themes.

With comment summarization, you can:

  • Summarize comments across survey items
  • Identify key themes across comments
  • Summarize comments by demographics
  • Identify actions employees are asking for

Comment summarization works on completed survey cycles for recurring and ad hoc programs and can process up to 8,000 comments per summary. For guidance, see How managers use Copilot in Viva Glint.
