The New Way with Transform

What is Transform in Copilot4DevOps?

The Transform feature in Copilot4DevOps helps teams in enriching the text content of Azure work items by rewriting, shortening, or translating it using AI. It makes every task easier to read and share, saving hours spent cleaning up text or explaining details to others.
Whether you need a quick summary for a meeting, a detailed work item description for junior engineers, or a translation for global teams, Transform keeps everyone on the same page without leaving Azure DevOps.

Made for Every Role: Transform Work Items Your Way

4 ways to transform your Azure work items using an AI

Translate

Need to share work items or reports with global teams?
Use “Translate” to convert work items, documents, or reports into 40+ supported languages, including German, French, Arabic, Chinese, etc. It keeps the original text and work item structure intact. Once work item content is converted to another language, you can directly insert it into the same Azure work item.

Need to restructure the work item content?
Use the “Paraphrase” option to rewrite existing work item content in a cleaner structure. With that, you can either paraphrase the content in paragraph format or bullet-point style format and replace the existing content of work items with newly generated content.

Summarize

Want a quick summary of long work items or documents?
Use the “Summarize” option within Transform to get a summary of existing Azure work items, documents, compliance reports, etc., directly within Azure DevOps. It helps teams to review work items and understand goals quickly. This AI-generated work item summary can also be inserted into Azure DevOps.

Want an elaborated version of work items to share with team members?
Use the “Elaborate” option to expand brief or short work item descriptions into detailed and easy-to-understand ones using an AI. It helps in adding missing context, a quick overview, purpose, significance, main aspects, key criteria if there are any, etc., to an existing Azure work item.

Transform in action

Solving everyday challenges across industries

Turning complex engineering specs into clear requirements in the Automotive sector

In the Automotive sector, engineers often deal with complex requirements. Sometimes, it even becomes hard for them to understand what the requirement is conveying, and they spend hours or days on that.
With Copilot4DevOps, teams can use the Transform features that allow them to summarize work items using AI. Then, engineers can quickly look at the summary and understand the requirements and goals. These requirement summaries also help stakeholders and testers quickly review the requirements.
While using Transform, teams can also paraphrase requirements into paragraph or bullet point format. This converts requirements into a structured format, and it becomes easier for engineers to understand complex requirements.

Keeping global teams in sync in IT & Software development

In large IT companies, multiple teams across different countries might work on the same project. Also, if offshore developers are involved in the project, they prefer to work in local languages. So, if the product owner writes a work item in a particular language, such as English, then developers don’t understand the project goals. This can slow down the application development and launch.
In such a scenario, teams can use the Translate feature of Copilot4DevOps to translate Azure work items in 40+ languages using AI. Even these translated texts can be added to the Azure work item and shared with global team members working from different regions. This way, teams don’t need translators, cutting costs and saving time.

Elaborate on domain-specific requirements for tech teams in Healthcare

In healthcare projects, clinical experts and product owners work together to prepare requirements for medical devices, software, etc. However, they write requirements in domain-specific language that technical teams might not understand. Due to this, there are very high chances of miscommunication, which could introduce new risks and project delays.
With Copilot4DevOps, teams can elaborate Azure work items using an AI. Project managers can elaborate short clinical notes, feedback, etc., into a detailed version that contains a quick overview, key aspects, criteria, and purpose. Later, managers can directly add this elaborated version to the existing Azure work item and share it with technical team members. This ensures that everyone from different teams understands the requirements properly and they are on the same page.
