Ask HN: Do you think MS Copilot will replace junior consultants?

As a consultant, I spend way too much time buried in emails, teams, Slack threads, and random SharePoint folders trying to come up with answers to questions like: • What’s the current project status? • What is that XXX deck? • What is the revised timeline?

Junior consultants at my company usually get the job of building timelines, trackers, and endless update slides. I’m curious whether MS Copilot, due to the data access, could fill this role—parsing all comms, tracking deliverables, and giving you clean overviews, action items, and even draft decks.

Do you think Copilot will evolve into this kind of tool? Or is there still a gap here that a startup could fill? Curious if others are seeing the same pain, or already building around it.
