Context:
- Microsoft has launched Copilot, bringing in the power of generative artificial intelligence to most of its apps in the Microsoft Office 365 suite.
Details:
- Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways.
- Firstly, it has been integrated with the apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
- Secondly, it has launched Business Chat, which works across your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts to lessen your drudgery and make you more productive.
- Earlier this month Microsoft unveiled Dynamics 365 Copilot.
- The AI tool is meant to assist applications that handle tasks such as sales, marketing and customer service.
- Based on technology from OpenAI, the software can draft contextual chat and email answers to customer-service queries.
What can copilot do?
- Copilot can give you a first draft, based on the prompts you give, to edit and iterate on. This can save you a lot of effort and time.
- In PowerPoint, it can help you in creating ‘beautiful’ presentations with a simple prompt, adding relevant content from a document you made last week or last year.
- Copilot in Excel can analyse trends and create professional-looking data visualisations in seconds.
- In Outlook, Copilot helps you clear your inbox in minutes.
- In Teams, it can summarise key discussion points — including who said what and where people are aligned, and where they disagree.
- One can ask it to write a message to one’s team about the updated product strategy. In no time, it can generate a quick summary based on the meeting one held an hour ago based on the meetings, emails and chat threads around the meeting.
