Microsoft is expanding Copilot with a paid early access program for select Enterprise accounts, along with several new capabilities and tools.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot AI Event in Under 3 Minutes
Copilot, Microsoft’s AI toolset, is rolling out a new, invite-only, paid preview to Microsoft 365 Enterprise users, but it doesn’t stop there. The toolset is also getting a new index for faster searching and expanded functionality across several Microsoft 365 services.
A new semantic index is being added, specific to Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, to make searching through years of company data easier. According to an example provided by Microsoft, this would mean you could type in terms like “March Sales Report” and get results that go beyond simple term searches. Instead, Copilot will determine your intent and know that “sales reports are produced by Kelly from the finance team and created in Excel.”
In addition to indexes, Copilot is also coming to Whiteboard and can create, enhance or summarize the different ideas and themes in your Teams meetings. PowerPoint will also use Copilot (integrated with DALL-E) to produce “custom” images for projects.
