Earlier this month, folks over at MSPowerUser reported that Microsoft might develop an AI therapist or an emotion-focused therapy Copilot for Windows and Microsoft users, based on a patent the Redmond-based tech giant released to the public back then.

Earlier this month, folks over at MSPowerUser reported that Microsoft might develop an AI therapist or an emotion-focused therapy Copilot for Windows and Microsoft users, based on a patent the Redmond-based tech giant released to the public back then.

Now, according to another patent recently released by the Redmond-based tech giant, an emotion-focused therapy journaling feature might be in development. The emotional management system is patented as being capable of integration within other systems, such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 apps, or even operating systems such as Windows.

The new emotional management system implements a therapy journaling process, and it’s quite different from the AI therapist envisioned by Microsoft in the patent released at the beginning of November, but the two tools have the same goal: users’ emotional well-being.

The therapy journaling system would be used in work environments, as the document states:

The user’s responses are collected over time and put into a report that shows their emotional trends. The system then tries to figure out why the user might have felt a certain way on a particular day.
