Microsoft today announced the new AI-powered Copilot for Microsoft 365 apps and services, designed to help people create documents, emails, presentations and more. Copilot will be an assistant (Clippy?) integrated with Microsoft 365 applications.What is Microsoft 365 Copilot and what does it do?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is simply an assistant that uses artificial intelligence to help eliminate drudgery in the workplace. For example, you can ask PowerPoint to create a presentation based on a Word document and even have it apply animations or styles to all your slides. “Copilot is an entirely new way of working,” said Jared Spataro, president of Microsoft 365. It will work with you built into apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more that millions of people use every day.” said.
Microsoft 365 users will be able to use Copilot to learn about the upcoming Microsoft Teams meeting, keep people informed of updates on related projects, corporate changes such as recent hires, and even prepare updates about coworkers who may be back from vacation. Copilot will also be available in Microsoft’s Office applications.To be used in all Office applications
Microsoft 365 Copilot will completely change the way the company works, as it says. With just one query, SWOT analysis can be done in Excel or PivotTable can be created based on data. According to Microsoft, Copilot can transcribe a Teams meeting or summarize what was said to someone who was late. However, one small thing was mentioned during the presentation. Spataro said Copilot may not always be right, but by helpfully getting your request wrong, it can give you an idea that isn’t perfect but still gives you an edge. In other words, it is recommended to verify data or information, as in Bing or ChatGPT.
Copilot will also be included in Outlook so there is less time to delete or reply to emails. Copilot will be able to summarize an e-mail for you, as well as arrange a tone of response to an e-mail that needs a reply. “We didn’t just connect ChatGPT to Microsoft 365 to create Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot is powered by the system we call Copilot.” This system combines Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint with Microsoft Graph and GPT-4. Microsoft Graph can be thought of as a kind of in-system grounding/validation.
Microsoft also plans to bring a Business Chat feature that works across all Microsoft 365 apps. This feature; The Microsoft Graph brings together data across documents, presentations, email, calendar, notes, and contacts to help summarize conversations, write emails, find important dates, and even write a plan based on other project files.Microsoft says it’s currently testing Microsoft 365 Copilot with 20 customers and will expand the preview in the coming months. “We’ll share more information on pricing and details in the coming months,” Microsoft says in a blog post today. However, the company also drew attention to the principles of artificial intelligence in its blog post. He states that in each produced material, sources are linked and they encourage users to review the content, check its accuracy and adjust it.
Frankly, Office applications are used by millions of employees and thousands of businesses. Incorrect values in a created document can have serious consequences. Microsoft quickly integrated AI into Office, but right now the risks are worrisome. However, we can say that there are already “test” and “preview” processes for these.
