Microsoft Introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot to Revolutionize the Way We Work

Microsoft has unveiled Copilot, a new AI assistant that helps Office users create documents and more.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft has announced the introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot, a new AI tool that is designed to transform the way people work. The tool combines the power of large language models with Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 apps to turn words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet. 

Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways, and it works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and up-level skills. With Copilot, you are always in control, and you decide what to keep, modify or discard.

The Copilot System is more than OpenAI's ChatGPT embedded into Microsoft 365; it's a sophisticated processing and orchestration engine working behind the scenes to combine the power of LLMs, including GPT-4, with the Microsoft 365 apps and your business data in the Microsoft Graph. 

With Copilot, you're always in control. You decide what to keep, modify or discard. The tool transforms work in three ways:

Unleash creativity

With Copilot in Word, you can jump-start the creative process so you never start with a blank slate again. Copilot gives you a first draft to edit and iterate on, saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time. Copilot in PowerPoint helps you create beautiful presentations with a simple prompt, adding relevant content from a document you made last week or last year. And with Copilot in Excel, you can analyze trends and create professional-looking data visualizations in seconds.

Unlock productivity

From summarizing long email threads to quickly drafting suggested replies, Copilot in Outlook helps you clear your inbox in minutes, not hours. And every meeting is a productive meeting with Copilot in Teams. It can summarize key discussion points, including who said what and where people are aligned, and where they disagree, and suggest action items, all in real time during a meeting. And with Copilot in Power Platform, anyone can automate repetitive tasks, create chatbots, and go from idea to working app in minutes.

Uplevel skills

Copilot makes you better at what you're good at and lets you quickly master what you've yet to learn. The average person uses only a handful of commands from the thousands available across Microsoft 365. Now, all that rich functionality is unlocked using just natural language.

Copilot promises to unlock productivity for everyone. Among developers who use GitHub Copilot, 88% say they are more productive, 74% say that they can focus on more satisfying work, and 77% say it helps them spend less time searching for information or examples.

But Copilot doesn't just supercharge individual productivity. It creates a new knowledge model for every organization, harnessing the massive reservoir of data and insights that lie largely inaccessible and untapped today. Business Chat works across all your business data and apps to surface the information and insights you need from a sea of data, so knowledge flows freely across the organization, saving you valuable time searching for answers.

What is Microsoft Copilot?

Copilot is a new AI-powered productivity tool that Microsoft has integrated into its suite of Microsoft 365 applications. 

It utilizes large language models (LLMs) to help users transform natural language prompts into productivity-enhancing actions, such as generating suggested responses to emails and creating data visualizations in Excel. 

Copilot also offers a Business Chat function that allows users to ask questions and receive answers based on their company's data stored in Microsoft Graph. Copilot is designed to unleash creativity, unlock productivity, and uplevel skills. Microsoft 365 Copilot is more than OpenAI's ChatGPT embedded into Microsoft 365, it is a sophisticated processing and orchestration engine working behind the scenes.

The Copilot System: Enterprise-ready AI

Microsoft is uniquely positioned to deliver enterprise-ready AI with the Copilot System. Copilot is more than OpenAI's ChatGPT embedded into Microsoft 365. It's a sophisticated processing and orchestration engine working behind the scenes to combine the power of LLMs, including GPT-3, with your data to produce an intelligent assistant that's trained on the work you do.

In a statement, Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, of Microsoft, said,

"Today marks the next major step in the evolution of how we interact with computing, which will fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth. With our new copilot for work, we're giving people more agency and making technology more accessible through the most universal interface—natural language."

In addition, the Copilot System leverages Microsoft's investments in privacy, security, and compliance to ensure that users can trust the system with their sensitive data.
