Microsoft just announced a new set of AI-enhanced tools coming to several apps like Teams, Word, Excel, and more.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot AI Event in Under 3 Minutes
They call their artificial intelligence (AI) toolset Copilot, and for good reason. These tools bring the magic of AI to the company’s business and creativity-focused apps to automate certain tasks. For example, Copilot can automatically generate a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation based on data collected during a Teams meeting or from an Excel or Word document.
Like its Clippy ancestor, Copilot sits alongside all the various Microsoft 365 apps. It appears as a chatbot in the sidebar. Just summon it to generate text in documents, create pivot tables in Excel, and generate accurate meeting notes, and that’s just the beginning.
Copilot also integrates with an entire office or organization at once, so you can ask it about recent hires, who’s on vacation, and just about anything else. It also works with Outlook, so you can spend less time batch-deleting spam emails and cranking out routine responses. The AI can handle both, in addition to summarizing longer email threads.
