But it's coming, the company says, in “the months ahead” to a wide range of products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Viva, and Power Platform, among others. Microsoft doesn't have a yet set timeline for a Copilot rollout, or any information on pricing and licensing. I’m more bullish on Microsoft 365 Copilot than “AI and Google Workspaces” not only because MS is ahead on the consumerization of GPT (and better branding) but because people will use Business Chat with MS Teams where as Google Chat usage is lacking and thus it has less context. The functionality has already been tested out, but it now offers a more hands-on way to convert existing user data - already available in tools like your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts - into new formats.Īccording to the announcement, users can give the chatbot natural language prompts: Saying “Tell my team how we updated the product strategy,” for example, can generate a new status update based on that morning's work. While the tool is already integrated with Microsoft 365 tools today, the new format (called “Business Chat”) adds a chatbot that more directly engages with a user. The tool draws on large language models and pairs them with the personal user data available within Office apps. Copilot is a whole new way of working.” – Microsoft executive vice president Jared Spataro. “It works alongside you, embedded in the apps millions of people use every day: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more. Microsoft revealed the new tool today in a blog post, positioning the tool as a major revolution in office software. The tool will function like a chatbot available to users in a sidebar, and could be used to create new text, crawl through a Word document in order to create new PowerPoint presentations, or help users deploy Excel functionality they might otherwise miss. Microsofthas just announced a new text AI-powered tool, Copilot, which will be available within the business's popular Microsoft 365 apps.

And now they'll be integrated with one of the buzziest, newest tech revolutions. PowerPoint, Word, Excel: They're some of the oldest, most established business apps still in use today.
