Microsoft has outdone itself in recent months. The Redmond giant has been implementing GPT-4 in its services for months. Thanks to this, an intelligent chatbot has appeared in Bing, which can answer the questions posed. This is not the end of the changes, as the technology created by OpenAI will appear in a new form in the Office package. The software maker has announced Microsoft 365 Copilot. This novelty will completely change the way people work, create and innovate.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is a novelty that will revolutionize the Office suite
Microsoft 365 Copilot is the power of next-generation artificial intelligence. It combines the power of large language models (LLM) with data from Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 applications. All this combined creates the most powerful productivity tool in the world. The novelty will offer a completely different way of working.
“Today is another milestone in the evolution of how we interact with computers that will fundamentally change the way we work and unleash a new wave of productivity growth. With our new co-pilot for work, we’re giving give people more freedom and make technology more accessible through the most universal interface: natural language.
said Satya Nadella, president of Microsoft.
How does the Microsoft 365 co-pilot work?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is integrated with the service in two ways. First of all, can be found in the most popular Office applications, i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. However, Microsoft also has a surprise for users of the service, as Business Chat is coming here soon. Business Chat works in Microsoft 365 apps in Calendar, Emails, Documents, Meetings, and Contacts. It will be based, among other things, on issuing commands, for example “Tell my team how we updated the product strategy”, and the chat will generate content for employees.
However, the real revolution will affect the Office package. For example, in Word, you can quickly start the creation process, but with Microsoft 365 Copilot support. This will create a draft text that is easier to edit and complete than starting over. This is a significant time saver. There will likely be times when the service provides irrelevant content, but it still provides some inspiration in writing.
Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint, on the other hand, helps you create compelling presentations with a simple prompt by adding relevant content. However, in Excel, the service can, for example, analyze trends and create professional-looking data visualizations in seconds.
Microsoft 365 will also be useful in Outlook. Here, for example, he can summarize long threads or compose quick replies. It will also help you clear your inbox in minutes instead of hours. After all, the service also works in Teams, where it will summarize key talking points – including who said what, or individuals’ commonalities or differences of opinion. It will also suggest actions in real time during the meeting.
Other benefits of Microsoft 365 Copilot
In addition to increasing productivity, Microsoft 365 Copilot creates a new knowledge model for any organization, leveraging vast amounts of data and information largely unavailable and untapped today. Business Chat works across all business apps to get the insights and information you need in no time. As a result, knowledge flows freely throughout the organization, saving valuable time searching for answers.
Copilot will also make simple activities even easier. The assistant will be able to command commands as simple as “animate slide” or “insert table” – out of thousands available in Microsoft 365. Copilot will fundamentally change the way people work with artificial intelligence.
Business support
Microsoft 365 Copilot is more than ChatGPT by OpenAI integrated into the enterprise platform. It’s an advanced processing engine that works behind the scenes to combine the power of language models, including GPT-4, with Microsoft 365 apps and business data in Microsoft Graph.
AI-based language models are trained on a large but limited data set. The key to unlocking business productivity is connecting it to your business data in a secure, compliant, and privacy-protected way. Microsoft 365 Copilot has real-time access to user content and context in Microsoft Graph. This means that it generates responses rooted in business content – documents, emails, calendar, chats, meetings, contacts and other business data – and connects them to work context, such as a meeting, an exchange of e-mails or a chat conversation.
Additionally, Copilot is integrated with Microsoft 365 and automatically inherits all of the company’s valuable security, compliance, and privacy policies and processes. Two-factor authentication, compliance boundaries, and privacy protection make Copilot the AI solution you can trust. Additionally, a multidisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, and policy experts reviews AI systems for potential damage and countermeasures, improving training data and reducing the generation of harmful content.
Microsoft 365 Copilot will be coming to the service in the coming months. Soon the giant of Redmond will give more details on this subject.
