Microsoft 365 Copilot Announcement

Microsoft Corp. announced it is bringing the power of next-generation AI to its workplace productivity tools with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Currently in testing with select commercial customers, Copilot combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with business data and the Microsoft 365 apps, to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills. Copilot, Microsoft’s integrated “ChatGPT” solution, will provide improved productivity across the Microsoft 365 suite, including Teams, Word, PowerPoint and the Power Platform.

According to Microsoft, here is how the integration will operate across the platform:

• Copilot in Word writes, edits, summarizes and creates right alongside people as they work.

• Copilot in PowerPoint enables the creation process by turning ideas into a designed presentation through natural language commands.

• Copilot in Excel helps unlock insights, identify trends or create professional-looking data visualizations in a fraction of the time.

• Copilot in Outlook can help synthesize and manage the inbox to allow more time to be spent on actually communicating.

• Copilot in Teams makes meetings more productive with real-time summaries and action items directly in the context of the conversation.

• Copilot in Power Platform will help developers of all skill levels accelerate and streamline development with low-code tools with the introduction of two new capabilities within Power Apps and Power Virtual Agents.

• Business Chat brings together data from across documents, presentations, email, calendar, notes and contacts to help summarize chats, write emails, find key dates or even write a plan based on other project files.
